Pelican Harbor is a small, man-made harbor located in Miami, Florida, United States. The harbor is situated on the east side of Biscayne Bay, near the neighborhood of Morningside. It was created in the 1940s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a safe harbor for small boats and fishing vessels.
Today, Pelican Harbor is home to several marinas, including the Pelican Harbor Marina and the Miami Outboard Club. The harbor also serves as a popular spot for recreational boating, fishing, and kayaking. It is known for its calm waters and scenic views of the bay.
In addition to its recreational uses, Pelican Harbor is also an important habitat for wildlife.

The harbor is also a designated manatee protection zone, and serves as a critical habitat for these gentle creatures.
