Point Leo is a surf beach first and a settlement second, a small cluster of holiday homes and a big foreshore camping ground on the Western Port coast. Taxi Peninsula serves it day and night. We send sedans for quick trips and wheelchair accessible vehicles with a ramp or hydraulic hoist and four-point restraints for passengers who travel in their wheelchair.
The beach is one of the peninsula’s best-known surf spots, popular with learners and experienced surfers alike, and the foreshore camping ground fills up every summer. Just inland, Pt. Leo Estate and its sculpture park draw diners and art lovers, and Point Leo Road climbs towards Red Hill and its wineries. For shopping and services, people head to Balnarring, Red Hill or Rosebud, and further to Frankston Hospital or Melbourne Airport. Surfers and campers often arrive without a car and rely on us to get to the beach and back.
Summer and long weekends are the busiest times, so book ahead for airport transfers, dinners or trips home. Groups can share the Maxi WAT. We accept MPTP cards and NDIS and aged-care accounts, and carers can ride with the passenger. Campers flying home can add their flight number for return pick-ups, and we’ll track it. Locals heading to Frankston Hospital or Rosebud Hospital can choose “pick up when ready” and tap “I’m ready” or call when finished. Ask for a fixed quote for trips from Melbourne.

What should I know about getting around Point Leo?
Point Leo is reached from Frankston–Flinders Road or via Point Leo Road from Red Hill. Roads near the beach are narrow, and the foreshore car parks and camping ground get crowded on summer days. There’s little street lighting, so night pick-ups are easier from a clear, visible spot near the entrance to the camping ground or a car park. Holiday homes are tucked among trees, sometimes with unclear numbers, so describe your house or give us a landmark. There’s no regular public transport, so taxis are often the easiest way for visitors to get around without a car.

Questions about travelling in Point Leo
Can you pick us up from the Point Leo camping ground?
Yes. Tell us your site number or a landmark, and the driver will meet you at the camp entrance or a spot you agree on. During summer, the camping ground is busy, so waiting near the road with your bags ready helps. We can take you home or to Melbourne Airport.
Can you take us to Pt. Leo Estate for lunch?
Yes. It’s a short trip from the beach and holiday homes, and we can take you there from anywhere on the peninsula or Melbourne. Use “pick up when ready” for the return, and tap “I’m ready” or call us when you’re finished, so nobody needs to drive.
Is there public transport to Point Leo?
Public transport to Point Leo is very limited, so most visitors without a car use taxis. We can collect you from Frankston station or Melbourne Airport and bring you down to the beach or your accommodation. Book ahead for summer weekends, when demand is high.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
