[3] The A87 road passed Balmacara and the bay, following the northern coast of Lochalsh.

Balmacara Bay is on the north shore of Loch Alsh, lying on a 193° orientation.

To the west of the bay is the opening of the sea loch, Kyle Akin, which has a small number of islands, including Eileanan Dubha and Eilean Bàn which the A87 road to Kyle of Lochalsh travels over, although not visible from the bay.

Slightly south of Kyle of Lochalsh is Kyleakin (Scottish Gaelic: Caol Acain) peninsula and the Rubha Àrd Treisis point, is the opening for the sea loch Loch na Beiste, which is visible from the bay.
