Overview

Balgowan is a small coastal town on the west coast of South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula, about 20 km west of Maitland. The settlement is popular with holiday‑makers and offers a mix of shacks, permanent holiday houses and caravan facilities beside a boat ramp, giving the area a relaxed seaside lifestyle that swells in population during peak periods. Its layout reflects its tourism focus, with most dwellings clustered near the waterfront.

The only local amenity is a general store, which closed in 2011 but reopened in late 2013, providing everyday supplies to residents and visitors. Balgowan lies within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Narungga and the Yorke Peninsula Council, linking it to the wider regional administration. Nearby Point Warrenne, just 1.3 km to the north, adds to the town’s coastal appeal.
