Ponte Vedra Beaches?

[Kimbrough]

My family owns a house at Sawgrass. I am interested in doing some MD'ing anywhere from Ponte Vedra Beach Inn to the public access south of Sawgrass. Can I detect there without breaking the law? Thanks!

One of your best bets would be to hit Mickler's Landing. Tons of crowds use that beach. With regards to the others, there should be no problem swinging on the beach. The biggest problem is access. St. Johns county is very good at providing access to the beaches, but they can be discreet in their signage. Some of the access is literally a sandy trail on a property owners border. The property owner gets a sweet heart deal on their property taxes in exchange the county is given access.

That's great! Access is no problem as there is a large public beach about a mile south of Sawgrass with a large parking lot. I'd park there and walk to Sawgrass and back. Could be fun!

The "large parking lot with the large public beach" that you mention sounds exactly like Mickler's Landing. Good luck and happy hunting!

Well I went and hunted in front of Sawgrass and Mickler's Landing. Didn't find much of worth but I'm mighty proud of myself for getting up early. The sunrises were priceless!
