Martha Cove is a large inland harbour and residential development at Safety Beach, named after its location in a cove at the foot of Mount Martha. The project, which began in 2004, initially sparked protests by residents. After experiencing considerable financial difficulties, Martha Cove recovered and became a thriving residential community.
Golfers play at the Mount Martha Valley Golf Club on Country Club Drive, or at the Safety Beach Golf Course nearby.
There used to be an abattoir nearby to slaughter local farm animals. Blood and offal from the abattoir operations were dumped into the Sheepwash and Dunns Creeks, and carried into Dromana Bay at Safety Beach. That attracted sharks and led to people calling Safety Beach “Shark Bay” for some years. Eventually, the state Health Department ordered the abattoir to clean up its operations and Safety Beach retains the name given to it by John Aitken in 1836.
