Balsam Beach, Narrow boulder beach on Greene Peninsula, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

Balsam Beach is a narrow boulder beach with jagged islands close offshore, lying 0.75 nautical miles (1.4 km) east of Dartmouth Point at the northern end of Greene Peninsula, on the shore of Cumberland East Bay. It appears on earlier charts but was named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1951 after a rough survey.

The area was mapped between 1901 and 1904 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition led by explorer Otto Nordenskjöld. This exploration was part of early scientific efforts to document the South Atlantic region.

The name comes from balsam, a resin, and belongs to a set of features around Dartmouth Point named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1951 after chemicals used to prepare biological material. Nearby are Sudan Beach (Sudan dyes), Eosin Hill (eosin) and Aniline Island (aniline).

Reaching the beach requires maritime travel and advance authorizations from local authorities. Visitors need to arrange access through approved tour operators who handle the required landing permissions.

The offshore rock formations have names based on chemical compounds, reflecting the location's history of scientific research. This unusual naming practice shows how deeply tied the geography is to the work of chemists and biologists.
