The Complete Pelican Point Guide. (2026)

Executive Summary

Pelican Point is a gated, 17-story oceanfront condominium in Jacksonville Beach with 101 residences, built in 1982, offering panoramic Atlantic views and a deep amenity package directly on the sand.

Residences run from roughly 1,200 to 2,400 square feet in two and three-bedroom layouts, with monthly condo fees around $375 that include water and sewer. As an oceanfront condo, Pelican Point prices well above the county at large, with the floor and the ocean view driving much of the value.

The appeal is gated oceanfront living with full amenities and lock-and-leave convenience. The trade-offs are the monthly condo fee, the reserve and special-assessment questions that come with an older coastal high-rise, and the coastal insurance climate.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

A gated oceanfront tower

Pelican Point sits directly on the ocean in Jacksonville Beach, a gated 17-story tower of 101 residences built in 1982. It is one of the established oceanfront condominium buildings on the beach, with controlled access and resort amenities.

Oceanfront living with deep amenities

The building is run with a full amenity package and a gate, which is what distinguishes it from a standard condo and what the monthly fee supports, with the Atlantic at the doorstep and the Jacksonville Beach core a short drive north.

The Residences

Pelican Point is a single gated oceanfront tower, so the variation is in the floor, the plan, the size, and the directness of the ocean view.

Ocean-view residences

The residences are two and three-bedroom condos from roughly 1,200 to 2,400 square feet, and the higher floors and more direct ocean lines command the top of the range.

Lower-floor residences

Lower-floor residences sit lower in the range while keeping the building's gated oceanfront position and amenities.

Real Estate Market

Pelican Point is an oceanfront condo address, so it prices well above the county at large, with the floor, the view, the size, and the updates driving the value as much as any headline number.

For county context, the NEFAR April 2026 report put the Duval County median single-family price at about $332,500, a county-wide single-family figure that does not describe an oceanfront high-rise. Confirm current asking and recent sales for a specific residence in the building with a local specialist.

Who Lives Here

Pelican Point draws second-home buyers, retirees, professionals, and beach-lifestyle buyers who want gated oceanfront living with full amenities and no upkeep, in an established building with fees that include water and sewer.

Schools

Pelican Point is served by Duval County Public Schools. In Duval the strongest schools are a mix of zoned neighborhood schools and application magnets, and middle and high assignments are not reliable from a community name alone. Confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district locator at duvalschools.org before you buy. See the best schools in Duval County guide for the rankings and how zones affect prices.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Pelican Point is run as a full-service gated oceanfront building, and the amenities are a large part of what you are buying.

Oceanfront pool and courts

The community offers a clubhouse, an oceanfront pool, a children's pool, a sauna, a fitness center, and tennis courts, with elevators and a car wash area.

Direct ocean access

Direct beach access and panoramic ocean views are the heart of the building, with the Jacksonville Beach dining and entertainment a short drive north.

HOA, CDD & Costs

Pelican Point carries a monthly condo association fee, around $375, that includes water and sewer and funds the gate, the amenities, the building insurance, and the reserves. Confirm the current fee, exactly what it covers, and the building's reserve funding for a specific residence in writing.

On an older oceanfront high-rise, ask about reserves and any planned special assessments, since Florida condo law has tightened reserve requirements and 1980s coastal buildings can face structural and concrete-restoration projects. Confirm the reserve study, recent assessments, and the windstorm and flood coverage before you commit.

Commute Analysis

The Jacksonville Beach location puts the ocean at the door and the beach-town dining minutes away. Test your specific commute, since the beach approaches and J. Turner Butler Boulevard carry traffic in season.

Shopping & Dining

The Jacksonville Beach core, with its restaurants, shops, and the SeaWalk Pavilion, sits minutes away, and the St. Johns Town Center adds big-box and upscale options about 20 minutes west.

Pros and Cons

Pelican Point vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

Read the reserves and the concrete

On a 1982 oceanfront high-rise, the building's reserves, any special assessments, and any concrete-restoration projects matter as much as the price. Confirm the reserve study and the master policy before you buy.

The floor and ocean view set the price

Residences in the same building price very differently by floor and the directness of the ocean view. Confirm exactly what each residence looks out on.
