About
Merricks
Including Merricks North & Merricks Beach
Windswept and honest, where cool-climate wineries meet an unassuming stretch of coast. Merricks keeps mostly to itself — a handful of cellar doors, a disused railway turned walking trail, and a beach that doesn't make a fuss about being beautiful.
Wineries & Restaurants
From award-winning cellar doors to relaxed lunches overlooking the vines, Merricks is where the Peninsula's wine country does its best entertaining.
Walks & trails
The Rail Trail
Six kilometres of old railway line from Merricks, running uphill through tree ferns and the back gates of four cellar doors, to Red Hill. Walk it one way — someone will drive you home.

Accommodation
Stay in Merricks
Merricks keeps it low-key — a few boutique stays and farm retreats tucked among the vines, with more choice close by in Red Hill, Balnarring and Flinders.
Beaches
Merricks Beach
Merricks Beach keeps a lower profile than its Peninsula neighbours — a quiet stretch of sand backed by tea-tree, with Phillip Island visible across the bay on a clear day.
