San Remo is a beautiful place nestled at the entrance to Phillip Island. On their way onto the island, many visitors stop here to feed the many pelicans calling San Remo home.
The Pelicans come to the jetty on the foreshore to be fed at 12pm (noon) daily.
Pelican Feeding San Remo Address & Foreshore Times, Phillip Island
Visitors who come to the pelican feeding can get close to the pelicans as there are no formal barriers. Kids may even be lucky enough to be given a fish to feed the pelicans themselves. The pelicans are wild, so they roam the jetty for tasty fish. You may find a pelican coming over to you looking for some lunch! But have no fear; pelicans are harmless.
Many seagulls also flock to the jetty to try and get a free feed, so you will find hundreds of gulls hovering around. There is also a family of giant stingrays that live under the jetty, and you may see them pop up to the surface as they search for scraps.
Near the pelican feeding area is a playground and BBQ area where many people stop for lunch. Why not grab some fish and chips and sit by the foreshore while you watch your kids play.
Hi, do the Pelicans still come to feed at 12 noon during daylight saving or do they come to feed a 1pm??
Hi Sandy,
The Pelicans are fed at 12pm daily, whether they have adjusted to daylight savings time remains to be seen! Best get down there at 12pm, as this is when the food arrives. No doubt the pelicans will see their cue and come ashore when they see their lunch!
Have a great day at Phillip Island!

Hi, Will there be Pelican feeding on Christmas Day 25/12? Virginia
Hi Virginia,
The pelicans coming to shore is a naturally occurring event, so they arrive 365 days per year.
As to whether someone will be there to feed them on Christmas Day, I am not sure. However you can contact the people who do the feeding here: [email protected].
Merry Christmas!
