Within a few minutes drive you can enjoy the best of Floridian dining too. Our favourites include the casual dining of "The Fishery" which is just up the road at Placida and the more formal but delightful "Palmetto Grill" a few minutes further on at Cape Haze. And for the more adventurous of you, why not rent a boat and head out to the Cabbage Key Inn, only accessible by sea. We'd recommed the shrimp washed down with a cocktail or cold beer. When you leave pin a dollar to the bar wall (if you can find room) as the fishermen used to do in times past.

The South Gulf Cove Community Boat ramp is only 3 minutes away from Pelican House and allows public access to the canal systems that weave their way through the area and lead on to the Gulf.
