South Ponte Vedra Beach - all beaches

This beach is a true gem. To begin with, you can park your vehicle for a nominal fee of $3.00 per car accommodating up to 8 passengers, right across the street. Once you have parked, you simply detach the receipt from the envelope and place the money inside before dropping it into the drop box. Then, place the receipt on the driver's side window and cross the semi-busy street to reach the beach. Once you get there, you'll be mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the beach, with the exception of the numerous seashells scattered all over the shore. It's best to have sand between your toes rather than cuts on your feet. Don't forget to bring a large umbrella as there is no shade available. The beach is not crowded due to the absence of restrooms or other recreational facilities, but that's exactly what makes it a peaceful haven. I rate this beach an A for its tranquility and abundance of sunshine.

Today, I visited Ponte Vedra beach after coming from Daytona beach. I was searching for a public access and stopped at the only ExxonMobil gas station nearby. I filled up my car with gas and was about to cross the A1A when the cashier came out and started yelling at me to move my car. I went back to ask her why I couldn't park there, but she continued to yell and told me to leave because I wasn't a customer, despite having just filled up my gas tank. I was disappointed by her behavior and it left a bad impression on my visit. Eventually, I found the beach access a few kilometers away and parked my car, but my experience was dampened by this encounter.
