Pelikan Société

Pelikan Societe is a casual foreshore cafe at 2/20 Marine Parade, Hastings, sitting beside the Pelican Park recreation centre with outdoor seating that looks over the marina and mangroves.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining area, which has casual seating facing the foreshore. Inside is generally not open to pets, so the outdoor tables are the setup for dog owners. Staff are known to be dog-friendly, and water bowls are typically about, though bringing your own is safest.

Good to know. It serves Lavazza coffee and an all-day breakfast, and is a reliable dog-friendly stop that draws locals with their dogs and swimmers from the adjacent aquatic centre.

Getting there. It is inside the Pelican Park complex, with a large car park directly in front and flat, easy access from there to the outdoor tables.

Good for a post-walk coffee straight off the foreshore, with the Pelican Park waterfront right alongside for a stroll.
