I work in St. Aug. and live by Marineland, which is about 16 miles south of downtown. If you are staying in Ponte Vedra go down A1A and eat at the Reef, just off A1A on the ocean about 2 miles north of Vilano - great food and excellent dried shrimp. Or just across the bridge in St. Aug. you can eat at O'Steens. If you have time take a drive down A1A about 16 miles south - Fort Matanzas is at the inlet and has a free boat ride across the river. And 3 miles south of there is Marineland with a $5 entrance fee - they have the oldest dolphin and they train them, etc.

I could on & on but it does not seem you have a lot of time. But the beaches here are fantastic albeit we lost 3-4 feet of sand from TS Fay and a nor'easter. I went swimming this weekend and the water is still about 80 degrees - enjoy!
