PELICAN BEACH CAFE – American
Ground-level café at the Resorts of Pelican Beach in Destin, steps from the sand and open seasonally from March through October, 8 to 4 daily. Hattie's Hot Breakfast piles up pancakes, fluffy omelets, biscuit sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, and fresh pastries with Community Coffee, while lunch keeps things laid-back at Gulf-front tables; the beachside Tiki Bar — central Destin's only true beachfront tiki — pours tropical drinks with the sea oats swaying. It suits resort guests padding down in flip-flops, sunrise-breakfast households, and vacationers who measure meals in Gulf views.
