Newcomers of the Beaches was created to give women an opportunity to connect, build friendships, and feel at home while settling into our coastal community. As a social club, we live by our motto: “Happiness is making new friends.” Above all, we focus on having fun and creating meaningful connections.
Each month, we organize a wide variety of activities and events designed to bring members together, meet new people, and form lasting friendships. Our busiest season runs from September through June, with a smaller selection of events offered during the summer months.
While our club is for women only, there are a few events that allow for guests, giving you the option to bring a significant other along.
Today, our club is a vibrant community of approximately 280 members, all coming together to share experiences, laughter, and friendship. Back to Top
Newcomers of the Beaches warmly welcomes women living in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and nearby communities such as Nocatee. Our club is designed for those who have moved to the area within the past 24 months or who have experienced a recent life change—such as retirement, becoming widowed, or divorced—within the same timeframe.
To help you stay connected and make the most of our activities, members should have a personal email address and be comfortable registering for events using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Payment for activities is handled securely through our system using a credit card.
You’re welcome to remain a member for as long as your dues are current—we’d love to have you stay as long as you’re enjoying the friendships and fun!
If you have any questions about eligibility, simply click “Contact Us” in the menu above, and our Membership Chairperson will be happy to assist you.

Your dues should be paid each year by July 1, the first day of the membership year, to prevent your name from being dropped from the membership directory. Back to Top
We’d love for you to get to know us by attending one of our monthly luncheons. Prospective members are welcome to attend one luncheon before becoming a member—it’s a great way to meet new friends and experience the fun and welcoming spirit of our club.

Our New Member Coffees are casual, welcoming gatherings designed especially for our newest members. Hosted by the Membership Chairperson and held every two to three months (as needed), these get-togethers are a wonderful way to feel right at home.
You’ll have the chance to meet fellow new members, as well as members of our Board, while learning more about the many activities and opportunities our club offers. It’s also the perfect time to ask questions about our bylaws, policies, events, and how to get involved.
These coffees are typically held in a member’s home, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Our Club President and available Board members are often there to personally welcome you and help you get acquainted. Back to Top
Each month Newcomers hosts many fun activities for its members. They are the basis for how we meet one another and form new friendships. See our current list of activities by clicking here. After becoming a member, you are welcome to attend any club activity. You choose how much or how little you want to participate by clicking on "groups" when you complete your membership application.
Anyone in the club may propose a new activity. What we are able to offer varies each year based upon members' interests and willingness to lead activities. The number of activities we offer is limited only by the number of people who are willing to volunteer their time. Adding new activities keeps the club vibrant and interesting. Back to Top
Our club is governed by bylaws and a board of directors. All of our club positions are filled by volunteers who love the club enough to donate their time and energy. In addition to attending activities, the best way to make new friends is to volunteer to help within the club. Each spring, we begin soliciting new leadership and activity volunteers. Check out the possibilities and join in!
All dues and fees collected from our members are spent to run the business of the club and its activities. No individual may derive a personal financial benefit from their participation in the club. Back to Top
