Merricks Beach suburb profile

Merricks Beach is a small, laid-back coastal hamlet on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, located on the quieter Western Port side. The suburb is defined by its sandy foreshore, low dunes and a string of single-storey beach houses and holiday shacks that give the area an unpretentious, bayside feel. Life here revolves around the water, with swimming, fishing, boating and shoreline walks, plus nearby reserves that attract nature lovers. Local shopping and services are limited so residents rely on neighbouring towns for everyday needs. The suburb suits people after a peaceful retreat or family-friendly seaside living with easy road access to the peninsula hinterland.
