Updated: Sep 11, 2025

Pelican Cafe is the bayside's best kept secret, with an all-day breakfast/lunch menu and lovely views of Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay islands of Macleay, Russell, Lamb and Karragarra. 

Housed on the second story of the big, green shed at the end of the Esplanade, overlooking Weinam Creek, diners can sit inside the nautically-inspired space with plenty of timber or outside on the breezy deck.
