Hawker Beach Dog Off Leash Area
546 Esplanade,
Mount Martha VIC,
3934
Hawker beach, which is 600 m long, is one of three narrow beaches north of Balcombe Creek in Mount Martha which is backed by boat sheds and bluffs. Dogs are allowed off leash at all times between Helena and Augusta Streets.
The Esplanade parallels the shore on top of the bluffs. To reach Hawker beach requires a walk up the beach or a steep climb down the 20 m high bluffs. A seawall fronts the boat sheds to protect them from erosion that has narrowed the beach, as far as the seawall in some places.
A fire access track leads from #546 Esplanade (opposite Helena Street) down to the beach.
Access for Dogs:
Leash free all year round.
