This beach is far from ordinary and perfect for a leisurely stroll or a refreshing recharge. However, it's important to note that there are no barbecue facilities available, so it's solely a beach destination without any opportunities for socializing. The water can be quite chilly, and there are plenty of rocks scattered about. Despite these small drawbacks, the scenery is simply stunning and I strongly recommend visiting during sunset as it is a truly unforgettable experience. I've included some photos I took during my visit - enjoy!

Castle Beach is a vast expanse of shoreline that lies adjacent to a few holiday destinations in the charming town of Pearly Beach. The beach is shielded from the town by a series of sand dunes and a couple of roads that link the two. With its powdery white sand and chilly waters for the most part of the year, swimming is not a popular activity here. However, this makes the beach a perfect spot for a romantic walk. Bundle up and take your time to relish the tranquil ambiance.

The beach offers of well-maintained ablution facilities, which are undoubtedly a rare sight. However, the short distance from the parking area to the beach doesn't make up for the lackluster scenery. The white sand, although exquisite, fails to impress and lacks the charm that one expects from a beach. It is an average family beach, but nothing extraordinary to write home about.

Pearly Beach boasts a stunning blueflag beach that is a sight to behold. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for those with disabilities or pets. However, the beach is immaculately clean and offers a plethora of fascinating discoveries for its visitors. Take a look at my snapshot of the gooseneck barnacles that were found washed up on the shore, attached to a eucalyptus tree. Regular patrons of the beach are always in for a treat as they witness a variety of interesting finds that constantly keep them entertained.
