It is located about 123 kilometres (76 miles) south of the state capital of Adelaide and about 17 kilometres (11 miles) south-west of Penneshaw. [2] [3] [8] [9]

The locality’s boundaries were created in March 2002 for the “long established name” which is derived from Pelican Lagoon, the seawater lagoon which adjoins the locality to the west. [2]
