About Salty Pelican Bar & Grill

About Us

Salty Pelican Bar & Grill is one of the most recognizable and loved spots on Amelia Island — a true harborfront hangout where cold drinks, casual food, and unbeatable sunset views come together along the Amelia River. This is dockside dining at its best. The menu leans into seafood favorites, sandwiches, baskets, and bar-friendly plates that pair perfectly with a drink in hand. It’s food designed for grazing, sharing, and soaking up the view rather than sitting through a formal meal. The bar is the heart of the experience. Expect tropical cocktails, cold beer, and a lively social atmosphere, especially in the late afternoon and evening when the river lights up and boats drift by. It’s a magnet for locals, visitors, boaters, and anyone chasing that classic Florida waterfront moment. Seating stretches right along the water, making Salty Pelican one of the best places on the island to watch the sunset, spot dolphins, or simply unwind after a long beach day. Flip-flops are standard, conversations are easy, and nobody’s in a rush. Located just off historic downtown Fernandina Beach, Salty Pelican is an easy stop before or after exploring Centre Street, shopping, or live music nearby. It works equally well as a daytime lunch stop or an evening anchor for drinks and casual dinner. Salty Pelican isn’t about white tablecloths or quiet dining — it’s about views, vibe, and island energy. The kind of place you remember long after the trip ends. Bottom line: if you’re looking for waterfront dining on Amelia Island with great drinks, casual seafood, and some of the best sunset views on the island, Salty Pelican Bar & Grill delivers the full coastal experience.
