At Pelican Beach, we want to ensure that our guests are comfortable and secure. Therefore, in the peak spring and summer months (year-round), the Pelican Beach Owners Association has elected to initiate a wristband program for all guests staying at the resort. Upon check-in, guests will receive a wristband which must always be worn while on the property so that resort staff can determine who should not be on property taking up beach or pool space from registered guests. Please note that there will be a $25 charge to replace any lost wristbands.
