Mount Martha Bathing Boxes
Mount Martha Beach
Rows of brightly painted beach boxes line the bay. With calm water and sandy shores, it is a classic photo spot on the peninsula.
The painted beach boxes are a signature feature of the Port Phillip Bay coastline. Rows of wooden huts in a variety of colours line Mount Martha North Beach and South Beach, as well as Mills Beach in Mornington and Safety Beach in Dromana. The huts are privately owned and not open to the public, so you can photograph them from the sand but should never climb on or enter them. The bay side is calm, making it good for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. Parking near the beaches is tight on summer weekends.
