Mickler’s Landing Beachfront Park is the county’s beach park in Ponte Vedra Beach. It has parking, restrooms, showers and an accessible walkway over the dunes.
Farther south, the GTM Research Reserve has three beach access points along Coastal Highway (A1A), managed by Guana State Park. Each one requires crossing A1A from the parking area.
- Northern access: 70 parking spaces and a boardwalk of more than 300 feet with stairs over the dunes.
- Middle access: 80 parking spaces and a boardwalk of about 180 feet with several stairs.
- Southern access: 94 parking spaces, including five ADA spaces, and an ADA boardwalk of about 180 feet with a viewing platform. The ramp ends in soft sand about 30 feet from the hard-packed beach. A dirt lot near the gas station has about 60 more spaces and a footpath to the beach.
Dogs are welcome on St. Johns County beaches on a leash, including in the water.
