A moderate-difficulty walking track connects Patonga to neighbouring Pearl Beach, and the village also offers canoeing, boating and fishing.
Pearl Beach is bordered on the west and south by Brisbane Water National Park and on the east by Broken Bay, with Lion Island offshore.
Pearl Beach's southern end is calm and sheltered for swimming while its northern end, called 'the dumpers', has rougher surf popular with experienced bodysurfers but with significant hazards.
