About Pearlah

Pearlah is a small rural locality on the Lower Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, situated within the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula, approximately 20 kilometres north of Port Lincoln. With a 2021 Census population of just 66 residents across nearly 49 square kilometres, it is one of the sparsest localities in the region. The area is characterised by open farming country typical of the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula, with low-density rural holdings across gently undulating terrain.

Neighbouring localities include Coomunga, Fountain, and Green Patch. The Eyre Peninsula Community Passenger Network provides some transport assistance for eligible residents, though a private vehicle is essential for most day-to-day activities. Pearlah suits those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle close to the ocean and the amenities of Port Lincoln.
