Spend your days swimming and paddleboarding in the calm bay waters, exploring coastal walks, or settling into a long lunch in the village. In the evenings, you can watch the sun set over the water. Mount Martha suits families, couples and friends looking for a slower pace, and it offers a peaceful coastal stay with the whole peninsula within easy reach.

They’re still one of the area’s best photo spots. The beaches in front of them are public and free to enjoy. **Are the beaches safe for children?** Mount Martha’s beaches face Port Phillip Bay, so the water is generally calm, shallow near the shore and well suited to families. During the summer season, swim between the red and yellow flags at patrolled beaches. Keep an eye on conditions on windy days. **Can I bring my dog to the beach?** Dogs are welcome on many Mornington Peninsula beaches, but rules vary by beach and season. Restrictions usually apply during the warmer months and daytime hours. Always check the signs at the beach entrance before letting your dog on the sand. **Do I need a car in Mount Martha?** Yes, a car is strongly recommended. Public transport to and around Mount Martha is limited. Most of the area’s attractions, including the wineries, hot springs and ocean beaches, are spread across the peninsula. Peninsula Link has no tolls, but some routes from Melbourne Airport or the city use tolled roads. **What’s available locally for groceries and dining?** Mount Martha village has cafés, eateries and everyday essentials within a short drive of the beach. For a bigger range of supermarkets, restaurants and shops, Mornington is around ten minutes away. ## Explore nearby suburbs in Mornington Peninsula - [Balnarring](https://luxico.com.au/destination/balnarring.md) - [Balnarring Beach](https://luxico.com.au/destination/balnarring-beach.md) - [Blairgowrie](https://luxico.com.au/destination/blairgowrie.md) - [Dromana](https://luxico.com.au/destination/dromana.md) - [Main Ridge](https://luxico.com.au/destination/main-ridge.md) - [Mount Eliza](https://luxico.com.au/destination/mount-eliza.md) - [Portsea](https://luxico.com.au/destination/portsea.md) - [Red Hill](https://luxico.com.au/destination/red-hill-mornington-peninsula.md) - [Red Hill South](https://luxico.com.au/destination/red-hill-south.md) - [Shoreham](https://luxico.com.au/destination/shoreham.md) - [Somers](https://luxico.com.au/destination/somers.md) - [Sorrento](https://luxico.com.au/destination/sorrento.md) - [St Andrews Beach](https://luxico.com.au/destination/st-andrews-beach.md) ## Luxury Australian Villa Rentals ![Quality](https://luxico.com.au/icons/diamond.svg) Quality Australia’s largest selection of hand-picked designer villas. ![Care](https://luxico.com.au/icons/diamond.svg) Care The devil is in the details.
