Balmoral Beach
Balmoral, in the suburb of Mosman, has trendy boutique shops, antiques stores and chic cafes on Military Road, with Taronga Zoo just down the road on the harbour. There are a number of harbour beaches as well, as can be seen in the photo.
Balmoral Beach is popular from just before sunrise till after dawn, with hardy early morning swimmers to walkers and joggers, while during the day there are picnickers as well moms and their small children to enjoy the calm beach. Normally devoid of any waves as it is protected by the harbour, there is a shark proof net area to protect swimmers.
The beach has been enjoyed for thousands of years, as there are signs of human habitation on the beach itself by the Aboriginal peoples that lived there, including in the cave that is still there, at the beach.
There was a tram service to the beach from the Spit (A bridge that crosses the waters to the Northern Beaches) to the beach. There is now a regualr ferry service from the city at:
