Pearly Beach is a hidden gem - that's the opinion of our visitors.

The village sits on the Cape Whale Coast route - here in our bay, and just off our shores, is one of the biggest concentrations of Southern Right Whales.  It's the perfect place to come and see these whales in season (June - December).

We also have four different species of resident dolphins along our coastline.

The area is a bird-watcher's paradise.

If you are a fynbos-lover, come and see our new indigenous village garden.

Pearly Beach sits within the Walker Bay Nature Conservation Reserve, which is why you won't get jet ski's or power boats tearing around the seas here, or quad bikes hurtling along our roads.  Driving cars on the beach is strictly forbidden.

Preserving our little piece of nature is very important to us - just pay a visit to our village Herbarium or the Marine and Coastal Kiosk to see how much we care.

The lack of street lighting around the village is deliberate - we want to continue to witness the awe-inspiring Milky Way at night.

The beaches are white, sandy expanses, that you can walk along for hours, sometimes without ever seeing another person.

You can swim or play in the sea, fish from the beach or rocks, or just soak up the sun.

In the evening, you can eat at one of the local restaurants and sample some of the fish caught that day from our bay!

This all means that you get the perfect place to chill out, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of being in one of nature's little gems of a hideaway.

So, whether you start or finish your adventure with a stay at The Ark B&B in Pearly Beach, you shouldn't be disappointed!
