Welcome to Mount Martha Beach, a gem on the Mornington Peninsula known for its stunning bathing boxes and breathtaking coastal scenery. Stretching two kilometers long, this beautiful beach is divided by the mouth of Balcombe Creek into the serene Mount Martha South and the charming Mount Martha North.

At the northern end of the southern beach, you’ll find the Mount Martha Life Saving Club and the local yacht club, creating a vibrant hub for water activities. South of the club, a lush vegetated bluff rises, providing a scenic backdrop to the 50-meter-wide beach, dotted with quaint boat sheds that enhance its charm. The beach slopes steeply to the shoreline, where deep waters invite swimmers and boaters alike. A deep water trough runs parallel to the beach, flanked by a broad, shallow outer bar and deeper channels, perfect for exploration.

Facing northwest, Mount Martha Beach is naturally exposed to westerly winds, which can create dynamic waves and currents that shape the sandbars and troughs. Under calm conditions, you can enjoy gentle waves lapping at the shore, while stronger winds can produce exciting surf across the outer bar.

This beach is a favorite spot for bathers, sailors, and boaters, offering facilities for everyone. Enjoy enhanced accessibility with beach matting provided by the Mount Martha Lifesaving Club, available daily from November to May. Just a heads up: during low tides, the matting may not reach the water’s edge.

Whether you’re looking to soak up the sun, take a refreshing dip, or enjoy a leisurely day on the sand, Mount Martha Beach has something for everyone. Dive into the beauty and adventure that awaits on this captivating stretch of coastline!
