Located about a half mile from Pelican View, they have the best pizza in town in our opinion. Their lunch and dinner entrees are very good as well. They deliver, if you would rather order and eat at the condo.

Another local favorite. It's about 1.5 miles away from Pelican View, just on the other side of the bridge/causeway on Dunlawton. The food is good, with the homemade cornbread and "hot out of the oven" cinnamon rolls being guest favorites. They also have a nice Sunday brunch. From our experience, the place is always crowded , so give yourself plenty of time and be patient. They do not take reservations, but you can call ahead to put your name on the waiting list before you arrive. It will save you some waiting time when you arrive.

Also known as the High Tide Kitchen. In our opinion they have the best breakfast in town, though others make that claim. They have excellent bagels and the food is hot and fresh when it arrives at your table. It's a small restaurant/cafe, so you may have to wait to be seated, but it's worth the wait. If you go before 9am, there is usually no line. It's about a 1 mile from Pelican View, which makes for a nice walk on a sunny morning.

Literally only a few steps away from Pelican View! Breakfast is very good. They begin serving breakfast at 8am, but you can get there anytime after 7am to find your favorite seat overlooking the beach and the ocean for sunrise. They will serve you coffee or drinks while you wait to order breakfast. Perfect, peaceful start to a day at the beach! For dinner, they are always crowded during peak season, so plan accordingly. While seafood is their specialty, the have good appetizers and other entrees to choose from. They have a bar, and as you might expect, that's always crowded as well. You can grab a drink and enjoy it while waiting on the pier for a table.

This is another good option near Pelican View. It's located under the bridge heading over to Port Orange. The restaurant is on the Halifax River, with great views of the seabirds on the protected sanctuary and the pleasure boaters traveling on the Inter-coastal Waterway (ICW). Depending on staffing, there can be significant wait times. It's a nice place to go for a cocktail for sunset, when not enjoying the view from the Pelican View balcony.

The Cincinnati Reds affiliated Daytona Beach Tortugas play A-level baseball at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The stadium is widely recognized as one of the best ballparks in Minor League Baseball. The historic ballpark opened on June 4, 1914 and is the 4th oldest ballpark still used in professional baseball. The ballpark was renamed after Jackie Robinson in 1989, with a statue being added outside the Orange Avenue Gate to celebrate Jackie Robinson playing his first professional game at the ballpark. This is a piece of baseball history.

A little bit of a drive...but worth the trip!

This place is awesome and worth the hour drive! It's a perfect spot to go when you need a break from the ocean and beach but still want to enjoy nature or take a dip. There are plenty of shaded areas to enjoy a picnic lunch. The fresh-water spring is 72 degrees year round and is set up like a swimming pool. You can also rent canoes or take a scenic boat road. Don't miss this place if you have never been there before. During peak seasons, you need to get there before the park opens because they limit the number of cars/people that can enter the park.

Awesome place! You cook your own pancakes on the grill at your table. Kids and adults all love the experience! It's located on Deleon Springs State Park property. Get there early, when the park opens, to put your name on the restaurant waiting list. Otherwise you will be waiting hours. But that's not a bad thing if you plan to stay at the park for the day anyway. They will call your name on the loudspeaker at the park when your table is ready.
