Gated Communities in Ponte Vedra Beach (2026)

Most of Ponte Vedra Beach’s luxury living happens behind a gate — from full country-club communities with 24-hour security to smaller oceanfront enclaves. If privacy and security top your list (whether or not you golf), this guide covers the gated options, how their HOA and membership structures differ, and which gate fits your lifestyle.
