The beautiful holiday and residential area of Pearl Beach on the Central Coast of New South Wales is listed on the National Trust. It is perfectly located on the north seashore of the magnificent Broken Bay, and features a delightful blend of customary vacation cabins and week-enders and newer up-to-date architect designed beach houses, apartments and units. The area has retained much of its original local vegetation through the action of local residents and helped Pearl Beach retain its natural vista and bushland setting. Pearl Beach has a reputation as a holiday and week-end retreat for writers, actors and other creative people who come to get away from the city and enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the area. Pearl Beach is established between Patonga to the South and the two beaches
of Umina and Ettalong to the North. These beaches add to the attractions and activities that visitors can enjoy. Pearl Beach is enclosed by the natural beauty of Brisbane Water National Park, with the pristine natural bushland forming a backdrop to the secluded beach. Pearl Beach has relatively bay-side waters and only a small surf that is deal for swimming and young children. Beaches with larger surf are close by.
