Salty Pelican Bar & Grill, Waterfront restaurant in Fernandina Beach, United States.
The Salty Pelican Bar & Grill is a waterfront restaurant with indoor dining, a patio, and an upstairs deck overlooking the Amelia River and surrounding marshland. Its multiple seating areas let you choose your preferred view and setting.
The restaurant was opened in 2012 by Al Waldis and T.J. Pelletier, who brought their extensive experience from the food and beverage industry to Fernandina Beach. Their expertise shaped how the establishment operates and what it offers.
The restaurant serves as a gathering place where locals come together to eat and socialize over shared meals. It functions as a community hub where people enjoy each other's company in a relaxed setting.
The waterfront location means it can get breezy on windy days or busy during wet weather when guests crowd the covered areas. Coming early or making a reservation is wise, especially on weekends when local crowds are larger.
The menu features hand-breaded alligator bites served with a house-made pelican sauce and seared tuna nachos topped with seaweed salad and goat cheese. These unexpected flavor combinations make the menu stand out from typical waterfront dining fare.
