Pelican's Snoballs in Jacksonville Beach

1029 3rd St N, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250

Overview

Pelican's Snoballs in Jacksonville Beach has been operating without a valid food permit since at least September 2023, when an inspection found the establishment lacked written procedures for employee illness reporting and vomit/diarrheal event cleanup. A second inspection on the same date confirmed these violations. The facility submitted a permit application in September 2023 but as of March 6, 2026 — more than two years later — remained unlicensed and operating without a valid food permit. The most recent inspection on March 6, 2026 documented the continued permit violation and required payment of appropriate fees within 10 days. Failure to obtain a valid food permit is a violation of Florida Statute 500.12(1)(a) and subjects the establishment to administrative penalties up to $5,000 and potential suspension of food activities.
