All about Mount Martha

You need only travel an hour south of Melbourne to discover some of Victoria’s most charming coastal towns hugging the Mornington Peninsula as it curves around Port Phillip Bay. There’s an embarrassment of beaches on offer, but perhaps one of the prettiest of them all is Mount Martha Beach, which serves the western boundary of its eponymous village. Along this two-kilometre stretch of sand sits a necklace of bathing boxes, painted a rainbow of colours by their local owners. Aside from the photo opportunities here, the water is calm and perfect for swimming, patrolled by the Surf Life Saving Club during summer months.

The sand is divided into north and south by Balcombe Creek, which snakes inland and is surrounded by a bushland reserve — when wandering here, keep watch for wallabies and native birds. Woodland and wetland walks also abound through the neighbouring Briars Park, planted with indigenous flora and home to hides protecting a number of rare Australian birds.

What are the top things to do in Mount Martha?

Golf with a View

More than a dozen golfing opportunities adorn the peninsula, from virtual simulators to expansive links courses. You don’t have to travel far from your base to tee off at Mount Martha’s public golf course. The swoon-worthy views from the fairways and greens are particularly attractive as the sun begins to fade — twilight golf is a thing here.

Mount Martha Coastal Walk

Lace up your walking shoes to traverse the coast all the way from Mount Martha north to the village of Mornington. The views over Port Phillip Bay are hard to beat, and plenty of tracks lead down to sandy coves where you can cool off with a swim en route — bring your bathing costume and your stamina, as the trail is 10 kilometres each way.
