Guidebook for Ponte Vedra Beach
Food Scene
This restaurant has the best eggplant parmigiana I have ever had - and I'm from New York! They also have a lot of other great food, sizable portions and a nice atmosphere.

This is much bigger than it looks from the outside, so a good place to take a group. The food is truly excellent and the place is always busy. Can be pricey, though, so best to go at lunch time, when their prices are lower.

This is a pretty small place with not much ambience, but the food is really good, especially if you have a hankering for really tasty meat dishes. Pricey, but sometimes you've just got to have it.

This place has mixed reviews when it comes to food but I think they have live music there most nights. Something to investigate maybe if you're in the area...

Relatively new. Very nice ambience except for the large screen TVs (presumably left over from when this location was known as Beer World.) Food is very good Indian food, waitstaff very pleasant and attentive. Go if you like Indian food in a very nice place.

Shopping
Fabulous shopping, mostly high-end. Always crowded so parking is tough depending on where you want to go. Lots of restaurants here, too, including Maggiano's, California Pizza Kitchen, Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, many others.

Entertainment & Activities
As far as I know, this is the closest movie theater to Ponte Vedra. It's a shame there are none at the beach, but it's not too far away.
