With a population of just 600, this sleepy village offers pristine beaches, lush national park fringes, and a laid-back fishing-village atmosphere. Swim at the patrolled surf beaches, kayak among oyster leases, or hike through coastal heath and spotted gum forests in nearby Eurobodalla National Park. The local seafood is legendary – grab freshly shucked oysters from the bay's farms or enjoy a fish and chips picnic by the water. Wildlife is abundant: you might spot dolphins, kangaroos, and seabirds. The pace is slow, the air is clean, and the sunsets over the river are mesmerising. North Batemans Bay is perfect for those seeking solitude, nature, and authentic coastal living, away from the crowds of larger resorts.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",[16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43],{"key":17,"value":18},"Do I need a visa for Australia?","Most visitors require a visa or an ETA before travelling.
