Balmoral Beach

The beachy enclave of Balmoral faces off with Manly across Middle Harbour, and has some good restaurants and a beaut swimming beach. Split in two by an outrageously picturesque rocky islet accessed by a little bridge, Balmoral attracts picnicking North Shore families. Swimmers migrate to the shark-netted southern end.
