Birding

Great viewing options await birders in the Ponte Vedra community. Birds of many species appear along the shore, in the marshes and along the broad expanses of the area’s waterways.

Bird Island Park

Next to the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library, this park’s dune and wetland areas showcase the native plants and birds of northeast Florida.

North Beach Overlook

Infrastructure installed for beachgoers to safely traverse the natural sand dunes allow birders a viewing vantage.

GTM Eagle Nest

Eagles call the GTM Research Reserve home, and these birds and their nests are prized sights for birders.

Birding at Guana Lake

While the lake always attracts many birds, even more gather during the low-water season in search of food.

Birding at Lake Tower

A great viewing option, two observation towers are located within the Wildlife Management Area (WMA) adjacent to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas (GTM) Research Reserve.
