This Atlantic Ocean seaside community is part of metropolitan Jacksonville's wealthy Beaches area and companies from the law and financial services sectors dominate the neighborhood close to the Ponte Vedra Center. Besides being an upmarket tourist destination, the area has a global reputation for its links with the sport of golf, especially at the nearby Sawgrass development. The center is just a 20-minute drive from downtown Jacksonville, which is Florida's largest city and boasts a dynamic, diversified economy. The city is also a rail, air, and road hub and has a busy port too.
