Pelican Pier / Pelican Nest Restaurant

Situated entirely above the turquoise waters of Palm Beach, Pelican Pier / Pelican Nest RestaurantClick to open side panel for more information offers one of Aruba’s most iconic dining experiences. Operating since 1994, this venue is unique in that it is located on a pier jutting out into the ocean, providing every table with an unobstructed view of the water and the marine life swimming below. The venue is divided into two distinct sections to suit different moods: the Pelican Pier Bar at the entrance is a lively, high-energy spot famous for its happy hours and casual bar bites, while the Pelican Nest Seafood Grill at the far end offers a more tranquil, romantic setting for a full sit-down dinner. The menu highlights fresh Caribbean seafood, including their signature Grilled Lobster and “Mermaid Trio.” Whether you are feeding the fish from the deck, enjoying a “Pelican-tini” at sunset, or dining under the stars, it captures the essence of open-air island living.
