St. Augustine | Ponte Vedra
has a long history of bringing
people together and enchanting
travelers from across the globe
since 1513. The most notable
of these was undoubtedly Juan
Ponce de Leon, who may not
have found the mythical Fountain
of Youth, but he most certainly
found much to like about what
we now call Florida's Historic

Coast®. And more than 500
years later, this storied slice of
Florida is still worth exploring.
Meeting planners will also
find a lot to admire, beginning
with a versatile range of
meeting venues. Follow in
the footsteps of modern golf
legends at the World Golf
Hall of Fame. The renovated
Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort
& Spa beckons intrepid golfers
onto the renowned TPC Stadium
Course, and a $25 million
refresh of the pool area, guest
rooms and lobby complements
an impressive 61,000 square
feet of event space. Or step

Vedra & The Beaches Visitors
and Convention Bureau offers
complimentary services to assist
meeting planners.

back in time at the breathtaking
Lightner Museum, a Gilded
Age showpiece that is sure to
wow the history buffs among
your group.
But noteworthy settings
are only the beginning. On
top of incredible venues, the
St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra
& The Beaches Visitors and
Convention Bureau also offers
complimentary services to
assist meeting planners (e.g.,
arranging site visits, sourcing
RFPs, providing collateral
materials), ensuring your event
is not the same old story.
Nearly 42 miles of whitesand beaches, unspoiled
by high-rises and massive
developments, will inevitably
beckon modern-day explorers.
But attendees will also enjoy
elegant and eclectic eateries,
plus no shortage of shopping
options. Walk along historic
brick-lined St. George Street

and discover contemporary
art galleries, cozy wine bars
and creativity around every
corner. Explore another historic
neighborhood, Lincolnville,
and learn how it played an
important role in the Civil
Rights movement.
At the end of the day,
attendees can retreat to their
choice of colorful boutique inns
nestled in old-world charm,
glamorous resorts resting along
the shore or any number of
accommodations in between.
