Pelican Scoops Ice Cream - Fort Morgan - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Chris Solaas

On the way to Fort Morgan we stopped at Tacky Jacks for lunch, and afterward my family disappeared on me while I was paying the check. I went looking for them and poked my head into this cozy ice cream parlor called Pelican Scoops. They weren't there, but... ice cream. As soon as I found them I dragged them into this shop so they could get some dessert.

And of course, that was a bit of an excuse, because this Fat Daddy is all about some ice cream, especially when I see Sea Salt Caramel on the menu.

Austyn served us with a smile, and I saw this sign suggesting I post a Google Review. Well, that's one of the hats I wear, so here I am.

Here are some photos of the sign on the front, the inside, Austyn behind the register, and a vid of the view from the balcony in front of the shop, where you can almost always get a view of the shop's namesake, out there dive-bombing scenic Mobile Bay for some tasty fish.

Contrary to the sign on the door, the pelicans were kind enough to leave our ice cream alone, though if there were any fish flavors all bets would be off. (Sorry, pelicans, no fish flavors).

My wife got buttered pecan, and I got the sea salt caramel. Both of these flavors were stunning. It was my daughter's birthday, so she was quick to order the birthday cake flavor, and the fact that she never offered me a taste should tell me something, and the look on her face as she ate it told me the rest. My grandson has a severe dairy allergy but they had snow cones (HULK was a big hit).

As a quick recap, this little shop might have been a bit hard to find but it's well-worth the search, as the food was excellent, the atmosphere friendly, the prices reasonable and the counters spotless. Anybody stopping for Tacky Jacks should be aware of this 5-star follow-up. My family may live a ways away but we'll definitely be return customers.

This was a fun stop for dessert after having dinner at tacky Jack's fort Morgan. The whole marina area is fun and this little ice cream shop is great and super cute! The employee working was super friendly and welcoming when we came in. Asked if we had any questions and if we wanted to try any of the ice cream.
Several options sounded really good, but I ultimately decided on the birthday cake shake. It was super cute that she added a peep bunny on top! It was very good and my group enjoyed eating our ice cream while looking out over the water at the marina.

Not many flavors to choose from, but the flavors they have are delicious! My oldest daughter had mint chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake in a waffle cone, I had cookies 'n cream and salted caramel with brownie chunks in a waffle cone, and my two little ones had a cotton candy flavored snow cone. Great service and decent prices. Not cheap, but not overly priced, either. And they give you decent sized scoops, too! Perfect after dinner treat!

Cutest little ice cream shop. We tried to go everyday we were in the area. It was nice and shaded so we can sit/look out and watch the boats. Their mint chocolate shake was amazing.

A scoop of your favorite Blue Bell Ice Cream served up by the friendliest face in Fort Morgan is an absolute MUST! Austyn is the big brained heroine out of a summer read novel, you’ll love her as much as we do!

Great place to get ice cream in the evenings. If you're staying in Fort Morgan, it's nice and close!

Some of the best ice cream around. Get the family some scoops and enjoy the view on the balcony!
