Vessel was traveling at an unknown speed on plane southbound 1.5 nautical miles off shore Ponte Vedra Beach and began taking on water. The vessel then turned to shore and was beached. 

Upon arrival  by patrol truck, I drove out to the beach and observed a 23' 2006 SeaQuest wrecked and hard aground the shoreline. There was visible damage to the underside of the hull, likely caused by waves and impact from the shoreline. I made contact with the operator. He advised he was traveling southbound in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 1.5 nautical miles east of the beach on plane running from a storm. He stated he began taking on water and then drove his vessel to the beach to avoid sinking. There was no one else on board, and he sustained no injuries.
