Charis Seafood, Labrador, Gold Coast, Australia
A Gold Coast tradition that’s as iconic as the fish and chips themselves, Charis Seafoods at Labrador draws a crowd every afternoon for the daily pelican feeding. Dozens of the big birds gather on the Broadwater shoreline, wings outstretched and beaks wide, waiting for their feast while families and visitors look on. It’s a quirky mix of nature and community, with the backdrop of fishing boats, salty air, and some of the freshest seafood you’ll find on the coast. Grab some takeaway, find a spot on the grass, and enjoy one of the Gold Coast’s most unique local rituals.
