Positioned right on the edge of the Pelican Waters Canal, this much-loved local tavern combines everything that makes a great Australian pub work: genuine waterfront views, good food, cold drinks and an atmosphere that never takes itself too seriously. The canal setting gives the venue a relaxed, holiday feel that’s hard to manufacture, and the outdoor dining area makes the most of it.
Families are well catered for with a standout pirate-themed outdoor playground that keeps kids genuinely entertained, making Pelican Waters Tavern one of the most reliably family-friendly dining destinations in the Caloundra area. Parents can sit back and actually enjoy the meal while the kids run off some energy, which is more valuable than most people give credit for.
The food covers all the pub classics done well, and the drinks list is exactly what you want when you’re watching boats pass on a warm Sunshine Coast afternoon. Whether it’s a quick lunch, an afternoon session or a relaxed family dinner, the tavern delivers without fuss.
Open seven days from 10am, it’s the kind of local that earns genuine affection from the community it serves. Easy to find, easy to enjoy and easy to come back to.
