A brief history of the area

Speak to any local and they'll tell you the area was named for having the "pearl of all beaches". Once upon a time, Pearly Beach was simply a remote seaside town. Property ownership is now dominated by holidaymakers and investors. The area is also rising in popularity for those seeking permanent residence.

Pearl Beach's appeal has earned it a number of accolades. Capetonian, Justin Fox, featured it in his novel, The Marginal Safari. In 2019, the town, along with other parts of the Overstrand municipality, was recognised as a UNESCO Creative City for gastronomy.

Climate

True to its nature, the area has the perfect beach climate. You'll find Pearly Beach is warm and temperate. In winter, there's plenty of rain which helps make the area green and pretty. The temperature here averages 16.4 °C.

Schools in the area

Because it has mainly holiday season residents, Pearl Beach has no immediate schools. However, schools in neighbouring areas will help your child achieve great things.

Primary schools include Masakhane Primary School and Gansbaai Primary School. Gansbaai Academia is the nearest secondary school.

Healthcare in the area

A short trip outside Pearl Beach will get you any medical treatment you need. There's a family health centre in Gansbaai, along with general practitioners, dentists and optometrists.

Shopping centres

Pearly Beach is small but has an essential shop stop. Pearly Beach Resort Shop is great for hardware, groceries, toys, clothing, decor and fuel. If you're looking to go beyond basics, travel out to Franskraal Mini Market or Gansbaai's Great White Junction Shopping Centre.

Distance from key points (Airport/CBD)

The driving distance from Darling to Cape Town International Airport is 173,1 km. This will take you roughly two hours and 30 minutes to reach your destination.

Restaurants

As Pearl Beach is adored by tourists, the area has seen the rise of many restaurants who cater to their needs. You'll reap the benefits of the dining scene.

Fynbos Deck Restaurant flanks the golden dunes of the esplanade in Pearly Beach. The eatery uses sustainably farmed fish, local produce and foods made from foraged seaweed in a constantly evolving menu. Die Rooibier is a laid-back spot with friendly service.
