Discover Mount Martha

Reasons to visit

Mount Martha is a small town on the Mornington Peninsula, ideal for a quiet getaway. Think wide, sandy beaches lined with rows of colourful bathing boxes. Drive along the Esplanade, a hilly, winding coastal road with views of Port Phillip Bay on one side and amazing clifftop houses on the other. Visit Balcombe Creek and wander the boardwalk and see a rich array of birdlife. Or head to Mount Martha Park and take a walking trail through native bushland.

The Mornington Peninsula Wine Food Farmgate trail is a mouth-watering way to get a taste of the Peninsula's finest gourmet offerings. The trail changes with the seasons so you can visit again and again, and always find something new.

This is the nation's premier golfing destination, boasting 20 excellent courses, three of which are in Australia's top 10. Designed by legends of the game, choose from links, resort or parkland courses.
