About

Mount Martha

Mount Martha is a leafy bayside village tucked between steep clifftops, with one of the Peninsula's most photographed beaches, bushland walks behind it and a historic homestead and wildlife sanctuary a short stroll inland.

The coast road here is one of the Peninsula's most scenic drives, with lookouts along the cliffs and a small village of cafes and shops opposite the sand.

Featured Spot

Mount Martha Beach

A safe, sandy swimming beach lined with colourful bathing boxes, some of the most photographed in Australia. It sits right across from the village shops, home to the yacht club and the life saving club, with wide sandy stretches to the north and south.
