Balmoral Beach

One of my most favorite beaches in Sydney. I can spend the whole day staring at the beauty of this place.I don't really know why this beach is not listed among the best beaches in North Shore. Maybe it is underestimated.It is about 15 mins from our place in North Sydney. There is a grand walkway to have a stroll while sipping coffee, parks to sit down and have quick meals or to play cricket with kids. People usually come here to surf, sun bath, play volley ball, jog, walk, exercise and lots more. You would see lots of friendly faces who don't mind to have conversations.There is paid parking, free parking in nearby streets (at least on weekends), toilets and eateries.Overall a great place to spend some quality time alone or with family and click beautiful photos of the picturesque.

This was a great little beach without any major or big waves, so you can just float around like you are in a pool or swim laps to exercise.

(3.5 stars)Balmoral Beach: This much-loved harbour beach is super popular, so we left our visit until late afternoon so we’d have a chance of getting an overpriced parking spot ($10 per hour). The strategy worked, and was made even better by a lovely Pasifikan family who gave us their parking ticket just as we were about to pay. They were part of the glorious diversity of contemporary Sydney that are drawn to this calm and sheltered spot, setting up barbecues and those ubiquitous cabanas for an entire day with family and friends. It’s a nice vibe, particularly for the northern side of the harbour, that helped transcend how busy it was and how much weed was in the water.

Great place to swim and relax,clean and family friendlywith cafes nearbytoilets plus fountains to drink and water for pets and places to wash your feet are availableParking paid ones, are mostly available but some free spots also availableEnjoy

One of my favourite beaches in Sydney. Fantastic beach, nice and spacious even on a busy day. Clean sand and water. Plenty of cafes and restaurants. Only downside is minimal parking.

My fav route beach by far, water is beautiful with great cafes around. Plenty of parking on a non busy day. When the sun is out make sure you arrive as early as possible

Beautiful harbour beach. Great for children and adults to swim. Plenty of cafes and restaurants. Parking can be an issue.

Picturesque. Pretty place looking out to the Heads. Between 6 am and 8 pm expect to pay for parking or move your car every 30 m or 2 h.

Great place, but don't come by car.
