Pelican Alley Restaurant

Pelican Alley trades on genuine history—built as a fish camp in the 1900s, it's been a local fixture since 1981—and backs it up with a menu of seafood favorites and daily specials. The Intracoastal Waterway views aren't just scenery; they're the whole point. This is for people who want casual waterfront dining without pretense, plus the occasional ghost story.

Friday night, when the courtyard hosts live music from the band Take 2—you get dinner, dancing under the stars, and waterway views in one move.

Skip the inside if the weather holds and claim a spot on the dock with a specialty cocktail. The pelicans, dolphins, and manatees are the real entertainment.
