Family-Friendly Activities

Ponte Vedra Beach is a family-focused community, home to both young families just starting out and long-established households. One thing they all have in common? The desire to live in a place full of fun, family-friendly activities – and Ponte Vedra delivers.

If you’re moving to the area, here are a few great ways for your family to explore your new hometown:

When the Florida heat hits, cool off indoors with exciting options like local indoor rock climbing gyms – perfect for an adrenaline boost or a fun family night out with teens. You’ll also find classic family favorites like bowling at Anastasia Lanes and several trampoline parks dotted along the coast for high-flying fun.

Prefer sunshine and fresh air? Spend the day at Mickler’s Beach, where soft sand and salty breezes make the perfect backdrop for family relaxation. For more adventure, check out Adventure Landing, hop on a Red Boat Tour, or if you’re in the mood for a thrill, take a short drive to St. Augustine and hop aboard the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour for a spooky night out.

Don’t forget the everyday gems: beautifully maintained parks, scenic walking trails, splash pads, and charming, walkable streets lined with shops and local eats. In Ponte Vedra Beach, there’s something for every member of the family – no matter the age or the season.

Nightlife Seekers

If you’re part of the younger crowd or planning a night out with coworkers, Ponte Vedra Beach has just the right vibe. While there’s no shortage of things to do here, it’s the people you spend time with that truly make the experience unforgettable.

Kick off the night with a unique twist by booking a ride on Cruisin’ Tikis – a floating tiki bar that offers scenic boat tours, tropical drinks, and unbeatable good vibes. It’s the perfect way to unwind, laugh, and enjoy the water with your favorite crew.

Craving some live music? Head over to the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, one of the area’s top venues for performances. With an electric atmosphere, big-name bands, and a fun, walkable location, it’s a go-to spot for an unforgettable night of music and energy.

And if a classic pub crawl is more your style, you’re in luck. Mulligan’s Pub, Palm Valley Fish Camp, and other local favorites offer great drinks, lively atmospheres, and even waterfront views. Whether you’re sharing cocktails or seafood plates, you’ll find plenty of reasons to toast the night away. From tiki tours to concert nights to barhopping by the beach, Ponte Vedra Beach is the perfect place to let loose and enjoy great company.
