Bird Island Park, adjacent to the Ponte Vedra Beach Library, is the first park encountered by travelers heading south along the A1A Byway. The park is home to the Bird Island rookery, one of many migratory sites along the Great Florida Birding Trail. The park illustrates the ecosystems of Northeast Florida and highlights the native flora and fauna along the two walking trails with interactive art sculptures, educational signs, gazebos, benches and a boardwalk surrounding a pond.
