Those who live here say The Rusty Pelican is the spot for a proper feed by the water. Beachfront at 1770, it’s known for generous serves of fresh fish and chips, juicy prawns and burgers you can enjoy with your toes almost in the sand. Easygoing, family-run and perfectly placed for sunset, it’s a classic coastal favourite everyone ends up loving.

Best fish and chips i've ever had!!! Loved everything about it. Food was the best, then beautiful views and cozy atmosphere. I did not taste any desert but they looked fantastic. 10/10!

What a gem of a cafe next to the caravan park. The best macchiato in Qld thanks to an experienced barista, and great fresh seafood - local fish like cobia, coral trout plus NZ sea scallops and mussels. The setting is perfect to watch glorious sunsets. Friendly, helpful staff - thank you all.

Absolutely lovely little spot! So beautiful.nWe had a nice table overlooking the water. They have various options for seating - chairs and benches, tables and bar benches.nnThe calamari was ON POINT!!! Best calamari. Cooked to perfection.nnWe also had the Red Emperor which was cooked excellently also. They know their stuff when it comes to cooking seafood. The chips were also good. And the battered pineapple? The final touch!nnSauces to add on at the end was a great addition and really made the experience feel like a personal one rather than just a number. Definitely keep doing that.nnThe staff were a good chat too - loved their vibe!
