Ponte Vedra Beach
Just a short drive toward the coast from Jacksonville, you’ll find Ponte Vedra Beach. Although very well-known for its golf courses, with the PGA Tour and the Players Championship being held at TPC Sawgrass, it also boasts gorgeous seaside resorts, private escapes, and elegant shopping and fine dining experiences. Miles of freshwater streams, creeks, and lagoons course throughout Ponte Vedra Beach, and it’s 40-foot sand dunes are among the highest in Florida, making this a must-visit community in the Jacksonville area.

Orange Park
Orange Park is located in the neighboring Duval County along the St. Johns River. Originally named Laurel Grove in the late 18th century, its name was later changed to Orange Park to reflect the hopes of its founders for a fruit-growing industry. That was until their crops were destroyed in the Great Freeze of 1895, never to return. Today, it’s a bustling town center with many activities to enjoy; take a walk through The Clarke House Park, see live entertainment at the Thrasher-Horne Center for the Arts, hike the Black Creek Trail, or check out other local attractions like the Orange Park Farmers’ & Arts Market.

Middleburg
Located 26 miles southwest of downtown Jacksonville between the forks of Black Creek, Middleburg was first settled as a village in the early decades of the 19th century and was a principal port for water shipments back in the 1840s. It was also the site of one of the battles of the Civil War called the Battle of Tiger Head, meaning it’s an area rich with history and legacy. Although still only a small town today, its population has rapidly expanded since the 1990s, and it’s a peaceful place to enjoy the Florida sunshine.

St. Johns
St. John’s is located in the Jacksonville metropolitan area and lies approximately halfway between downtown Jacksonville and downtown St. Augustine. There are several parks to explore, including Rivertown Park and Veterans Park, highlighting the natural beauty of the local landscape. Enjoy golfing at the Stillwater Golf & Country Club, try horseback riding at the Bella Cavalla Stables, or go for a spa treatment at the Fountain of Youth Spa. From its beautiful beaches to its quaint downtown shops, it’s no wonder that St. John’s has earned its ranking as #2 in the state for best counties to live in Florida.
