The Pelicans are fed daily at 12 noon on the foreshore in San Remo near the jetty. They have been fed every day at San Remo for years, and they never forget their lunch! Many silver gulls also flock to the jetty to try and get a free feed, along with the family of Giant Stingrays that live under the jetty and often come out to feed on the scraps. There are barbeques, playgrounds and a great fish and chip shop nearby with bay views.
