A quiet bayside home for a Merricks Beach taxi service
Merricks Beach sits on the eastern side of the Mornington Peninsula, on Western Port Bay. It lies about 66 km south-east of the Melbourne CBD. Wikipedia records just 157 residents at the 2021 census. The area falls within the Shire of Mornington Peninsula, and it used to belong to the Shire of Hastings.
With so few homes, there is no taxi rank nearby. So a Merricks Beach taxi service must come to you. Airport Taxi Cabs Melbourne does exactly that, at any hour. Call us, or use the form above.
Give us the pickup address, the destination and the time. We then confirm a fixed fare. Your driver arrives at the gate, and the price never changes along the way.
Most trips from a small community start with a long drive. Shopping, school and medical visits often mean heading to a bigger town. A Merricks Beach taxi service covers those journeys, so you do not need a second car. Residents without a licence, and visitors without wheels, benefit most.
Shops, wineries and trails near Merricks Beach
The restored General Store at Merricks dates from 1927. It houses a post office and newsagency. Nearby, Merricks Creek makes pinot noir, while Stoniers Winery, established in 1978, makes chardonnay and pinot noir. A Merricks Beach taxi service gets you to a tasting and back safely.
A 6.3 km horse riding trail follows a former railway route between Merricks and Red Hill. Walkers and riders can book a drop-off at one end. Then they finish at the other, without retracing their steps.
Local life also spills into Balnarring. The village has several shops, cafes and a post office. Taxis help when you have errands and no car.

Somers is another popular outing. Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, the Koala Walk and Somers Yacht Club all lie there. After a day outdoors, a Merricks Beach taxi service brings you home.
