The park is located directly on A1A, which is officially designated as the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway in this section of Brevard County.
The site includes a protected dune system that serves as a critical habitat for native coastal plants and nesting sea turtles.
The park's boardwalk is designed to protect fragile sea oats, which play a vital role in preventing beach erosion.
Pelican Beach Park is a 9-acre oceanfront park located along the Atlantic coast in Satellite Beach, Florida. It features dedicated sand volleyball courts and multiple picnic pavilions equipped with charcoal grills. The park provides direct beach access via a wooden boardwalk that traverses the dune system. Facilities include public restrooms, outdoor showers for rinsing sand, and a playground area for children. The park serves as a community recreation hub managed by the City of Satellite Beach. Its geography consists of primary dune vegetation and wide, sandy beach frontage. The site offers designated parking areas for visitors. Visitors frequently use the space for beach sports, family gatherings, and ocean swimming.
The wooden dune crossover bridge at sunrise provides an unobstructed view of the Atlantic horizon.
Bring your own charcoal if you plan to use the permanent grills at the picnic pavilions.
Check the local Satellite Beach tide charts before visiting, as high tide can significantly reduce the available sandy area for beach sports.
Use the provided outdoor showers before heading back to your vehicle to keep your car sand-free.
Do not walk on the protected sand dunes, as this damages the local ecosystem and violates local environmental ordinances.
No glass containers are permitted on the beach; maintain quiet hours near residential properties bordering the park; carry out all trash to keep the coastline clean.
