Maroubra has no railway station, so the car does the heavy lifting here. We collect from Pacific Square, the flats along Marine Parade and every street in between, day or night, with the fare fixed before you get in.
Ask anyone in Maroubra where they live and the answer is usually "up near the Junction" or "down at the beach". Maroubra Junction sits around the corner of Anzac Parade and Maroubra Road, with Pacific Square, the banks and The Juniors club. The beach end is east along Maroubra Road, where Marine Parade runs behind the sand past the surf club and the Seals.
Neither end has a station. The nearest rail is the L3 light rail, which finishes at Juniors Kingsford, north of the Junction on Anzac Parade. Everything else is buses. With suitcases, a pram or a 5am flight, people ring for a car.
We pick up from the apartment blocks along Marine Parade, the houses around Heffron Park, South Maroubra near Arthur Byrne Reserve and the shops at the Junction. Sedans and SUVs take up to four passengers. A maxi taxi seats up to 11 for a team heading to a carnival or a family flying out together, and a child seat goes in if you ask when booking.
Every Maroubra booking gets a fixed quote with tolls and GST included, the same at 2am as at 2pm. Call 02 7265 1227 for a cab now or book ahead for a set time.
Popular trips
Off-peak road times. Anzac Parade is slow in the weekday peaks, and race days at Royal Randwick back traffic up around Alison Road.
One of the shorter airport runs from any Sydney beach suburb. The domestic and international terminals sit on opposite sides of the runways, so tell us which one.
For the adult emergency department, the drop-off is off Magill Street, reached from Botany Street. The main hospital entrance is on Barker Street.
25 to 35 min
Anzac Parade carries you most of the way, through Kingsford, Kensington and past Moore Park.
Anzac Parade for the lower campus, High Street for the upper campus. Worth saying which building, because the campus is big.
Westfield, the bus interchange and the train into town. We usually head up through Randwick rather than along the coast road.
Ship days are busy at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Book ahead and allow time for the luggage drop.

A named spot saves a phone call, especially at the beach, where Marine Parade fills with parked cars on warm weekends.
| Place | Where | Pickup note |
|---|---|---|
| Pacific Square | 737 Anzac Parade, Maroubra Junction | Pick Anzac Parade or Maroubra Road as your side, so the driver isn't circling the block. |
| The Juniors Maroubra | Anzac Parade at Haig Street | Popular after shows and functions. Book the ride home when you arrive. |
| Maroubra Seals Club | 212 Marine Parade | Right on the beach. Everyone leaves a function at once, so a pre-booked car is quicker. |
| Mahon Pool | Marine Parade car park, Jack Vanny Reserve | Steep steps down to the pool. We wait up at the car park, not on the rocks. |
| Arthur Byrne Reserve | Fitzgerald Avenue, south end of the beach | Picnics, birthdays, and the start of the walk over to Malabar. |
| Des Renford Leisure Centre | Robey Street and Jersey Road, Heffron Park | Heffron Park is large. Tell us if you're at the pool or out on the fields. |
Maroubra's coastline
Maroubra Beach was declared a National Surfing Reserve in 2006, but plenty of locals come for the walking. Randwick Council's coastal walkway runs about 2.4 km from Mistral Point at the northern end, past Mahon Pool, down along the beach and on to South Maroubra.
From Arthur Byrne Reserve, the Western Escarpment track climbs across Malabar Headland National Park to Malabar Beach, roughly a kilometre one way. The Boora Point track nearby closes when the rifle range is in use, so check before you set out.
There is still no continuous clifftop path from South Coogee, so walkers coming south detour onto Malabar Road.
Mahon Pool, built in the 1930s on a natural rock pool at the foot of Jack Vanny Reserve.
Surf club presentation nights, a group heading to Royal Randwick, grandparents with a walker. Mention it when you book. Our wheelchair accessible vehicle needs booking ahead.
Maroubra to Sydney Airport
Off-peak, a taxi from Maroubra to the terminals takes 20 to 30 minutes. Because the airport is so near, people cut it fine. On weekday mornings the roads around Mascot and the airport approaches clog, and a 25 minute trip can stretch well past that.
For flights home, add your flight number to the booking and we time the pickup to when you land, not when you were due. Full details are on our Sydney Airport taxi page.
