Balcombe Estuary Reserve is a lovely bushland reserve nestled in the lovely coastal town of Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsula. This 53 hectare reserve is rich in biodiversity and offers the 3.5 kilometres of walking tracks and boardwalk that meander alongside Balcombe Creek, extending from the coast through to the Nepean Highway and on to The Briars.

Engage all your senses as you see schools of fish swim past, tadpoles, and dragonflies in the water and hear the symphony of birdsong, crickets, and insects as you stroll along the estuary boardwalk.

There’s also a gorgeous golden sandy beach on the other side and some fantastic shops and cafes to grab a bite to eat.
