Located about a half mile from Pelican View, they have the best pizza in town in our opinion. Their lunch and dinner entrees are very good as well. They deliver, if you would rather order and eat at the condo.

Another local favorite. It's about 1.5 miles away from Pelican View, just on the other side of the bridge/causeway on Dunlawton. The food is good, with the homemade cornbread and "hot out of the oven" cinnamon rolls being guest favorites. They also have a nice Sunday brunch. From our experience, the place is always crowded , so give yourself plenty of time and be patient. They do not take reservations, but you can call ahead to put your name on the waiting list before you arrive. It will save you some waiting time when you arrive.

Also known as the High Tide Kitchen. In our opinion they have the best breakfast in town, though others make that claim. They have excellent bagels and the food is hot and fresh when it arrives at your table. It's a small restaurant/cafe, so you may have to wait to be seated, but it's worth the wait. If you go before 9am, there is usually no line. It's about a 1 mile from Pelican View, which makes for a nice walk on a sunny morning.

This is another good option near Pelican View. It's located under the bridge heading over to Port Orange. The restaurant is on the Halifax River, with great views of the seabirds on the protected sanctuary and the pleasure boaters traveling on the Inter-coastal Waterway (ICW). Depending on staffing, there can be significant wait times. It's a nice place to go for a cocktail for sunset, when not enjoying the view from the Pelican View balcony.

A little bit of a drive...but worth the trip!
This place is awesome and worth the hour drive! It's a perfect spot to go when you need a break from the ocean and beach but still want to enjoy nature or take a dip. There are plenty of shaded areas to enjoy a picnic lunch. The fresh-water spring is 72 degrees year round and is set up like a swimming pool. You can also rent canoes or take a scenic boat road. Don't miss this place if you have never been there before. During peak seasons, you need to get there before the park opens because they limit the number of cars/people that can enter the park.
