There’s something almost paradisiacal about Collaroy Beach’s latest culinary hot spot.

Pelican Pavilion manages to combine all the idyllic elements stereotypical of an Australian summer, creating a friendly atmosphere in which you can sit back with a fresh, healthy meal and an aromatic coffee, soaking up the sun, breathing in the salty sea air and looking out into the surf. And as that warm summer sun disappears beyond the horizon, the cafe transforms into a private bar and the perfect location for any summer function.

Pelican Pavilion is open now as part of theCollaroy Hotel, located at 1068 Pittwater Road, Collaroy Beach.
