18th century brick-built pub with some interesting external features and airy modern interior. The pub was used by smugglers who landed contraband on the nearby beaches. Now surrounded by caravan parks. Voted best newcomer 2013, ­the Oyster Pearl prides itself in creating an eclectic menu combining the best of British and Asian fusion with its seafood dishes and locally sourced seasonal ingredients. ­The ever-evolving creative menu suits all tastes. There is live music on Saturdays and an open mic night on the third Tuesday of the month. Its sister pub, the Blean Tavern, also specialises in pan-Asian fusion cuisine.
