Birdrock Beach in Mount Martha, Victoria, is a secluded natural beach nestled among 20 to 30 m high sandstone bluffs. It is the longest of four beaches in the area, stretching about 550 meters. The beach is relatively isolated, primarily due to its difficult access and limited parking options. It features a flat-topped sandstone reef offshore, which attracts seabirds, and offers a serene and peaceful experience for those who venture down the steep paths from the Esplanade. The beach's scenic appeal and natural beauty make it a unique destination, though it is unpatrolled and requires caution when swimming due to deep water and potential rips at high tide.
Birdrock Beach offers a mix of rocky and sandy shores, with the south end being particularly appealing for those seeking a sandy beach experience. Its proximity to historical sites, such as Schnapper Point, adds to its allure. The area is popular among explorers who enjoy the scenic views and diverse marine life.
The beach's connection to Matthew Flinders adds historical significance, as he landed here during his exploration of the Australian coast in 1802.
