The Home Base for local teens.
A place to hang out, play, study, make things, or just get out of the house — built with teens, run by teens.
Open to students of Nease, Ponte Vedra and Beachside High, plus 8th graders at PIA, PVA, VRA, Sable Crest, Lakeside and Landrum.
Teen Lounge membership is now FREE. Membership required. Parent approval and community rules apply.
Same Teen Lounge. Better model. Now it's free.
What do teens actually do around Nocatee?
Nobody built anything for teens here. So we did.
Create your Teen Lounge membership.
Complete parent/guardian approval where required and agree to the Teen Lounge rules and code of conduct.
Once you're a member, come use the Lounge during open hours. For special events, RSVP when required.
Come for the games and fun.Stay for the people.
There is no required program or activity schedule. Once you're a member, come hang out with friends, play, study, work on a project, create something, or just relax. We'll also work with teens to build activities, events, and experiences around what they actually want to do.
Gaming hub, pool table, ping pong, chess and board games, selfie station, podcast studio, study rooms, fast WiFi. Snacks on the house.
Tournaments, movie nights, challenges, special events, and new ideas created with the teens who actually use the space.
Teens help decide what happens here — the events, activities, culture, and what the Lounge becomes next.
No required program. No packed schedule.
Join the Lounge, follow the community rules, and use the space in the way that makes sense for you.
Special events may require an RSVP.
Things happening at the Lounge.
Events are optional. RSVP for something that sounds fun — or simply use the Lounge during open hours. New ideas and events will grow from what teens tell us they want.

Same building as the founders.
The Teen Lounge is inside The Link — a 22,500 sq ft community of founders, creators, businesses, and people building interesting things. Teens don't have to join a formal program to benefit from that. Sometimes the most interesting experience starts with simply meeting someone you would never have met otherwise.
That's normal.
You don't need to bring a friend group. Come in, find something to do, join a game, meet someone, or just find a place to sit.
"I built The Link as a place where people come to build things, meet people, and turn ideas into something real. We kept seeing the same gap for teenagers: there were plenty of scheduled activities, but very few places that were simply theirs.
That's what we want the Teen Lounge to become. Not another class. Not another program telling teens what to do. A home base where they can meet friends, explore what they're interested in, try things, create things, and help decide what happens next.
And now we're making membership free so more local teens can be part of it."
Yes. Membershipis really free.
Teen Lounge membership is free. Teens still join, agree to our community rules and code of conduct, and complete the normal membership process. Once they're members, they can use the Lounge during open hours.
Special events may require a separate RSVP.
Join Free →Don't just join it. Help build it.
Have an idea for a tournament? A guest you want to meet? Something you want to learn? A crazy competition? A project? A movie night? A business idea? Something we've never thought of? Tell us.
The best version of the Teen Lounge will come from the teens using it — not from adults guessing what teenagers want.
Freedom for them.Peace of mind for you.
The Teen Lounge gives teens independence while still being part of a real membership community with clear expectations. Adult staff are on-site, access is controlled, and members agree to our rules and code of conduct.
There is no required activity schedule. Teens can study, play games, work on projects, meet friends, or simply hang out. Optional activities and experiences are built around what teens tell us they're interested in.
