Balmoral is the harbours premiere beach and an ideal spot to catch the prevailing Northeasterly seabreezes.

Balmorals geography acts as a giant compressor funneling winds in at an average 5kts greater than on the coast  whilst still being protected by Sydney Heads from large swells, making this the perfect place for beginners and flat water enthusiasts.
