Mary Caroline & Matt
Things To Do
Guana Nature Reserve Beach
Matt and Mary Caroline spend just about every Saturday and many days throughout the summer fishing, surfing, and hunting for sharks' teeth at Guana Beach in South Ponte Vedra. It has three public access points with parking lots making it convenient and less busy than some of the other nearby beaches. Be sure to bring $3 in cash to pay for a parking ticket for your windshield!
St Johns Town Center
St. Johns Town Center is an outdoor mall that offers many shops (Nordstrom, Dillards, Dick's Sporting Goods, Barnes and Noble, etc) as well as restaurants for a fun day of shopping!
Shoppes of Avondale
Avondale is another shopping area that has a more boutiquey feel with more local shops/boutiques and restaurants compared to the Town Center.
Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Jacksonville has a wonderful zoo if you are looking for an outdoor activity that isn't the beach!
Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
The Cummer has wonderful indoor art exhibits with beautiful gardens outside on the river.
Jacksonville Beach Pier
The Jacksonville Beach Pier is another great option for public beach access. It is typically busier than Guana, but it also has many restaurants and bars nearby to enjoy as well!
