Dine
Out - The restaurants at Pearl Beach do more than great
coffee. Pearls On The Beach is well known for fine food and
wines. You will adore the beach house atmosphere and ocean view.
Sit n Chats is more casual and has an excellent menu from raisin
toast to full meals. Both restaurants are mere metres from Pearlfisher.
Swim Laps
In The Ocean Baths - some hardy souls do this all year
round. Alternatively, sit on the sunny rocks with a book and
watch other people do laps.
Go Fishing
- Pearl Beach offers excellent beach fishing and excellent rock
fishing. Whiting, bream and blackfish are frequently caught.
Rock pool
Gazing - There are mini worlds to be explored at low
tide on the easily accessible rock shelf beyond the baths. Fabulous
views from here to Pittwater, Lion Island and Palm Beach.
Paddling
Possibilities - If kayaking or surf skiing interest you
then Pearl Beach is calm enough for both. Bring your own gear.
Cycling
- Load up the bikes. The flat, leafy streets and absence of
traffic at Pearl Beach are perfect for bike riding.
Visit
The Crommelin Native Arboretum - It is a ten-minute walk
to this wonderful park with its earthy trails and labelled trees.
Native birds abound and you could even spot a bowerbird or lyrebird.
Koalas and other native animals are sighted here too. Why not
take your lunch? There's a large grassy picnic area.
Walk to
Patonga - There's a scenic but hilly walk through Brisbane
Water National Park to this neighbouring village. It's only
about 6k return and affords great views. The trail begins opposite
the Arboretum.
