With just over 500 residents, this sleepy village offers an escape from crowds, perfect for long beach walks, fishing from the rocky shore, and watching sunrise paint the sky over the water. The surrounding national parks – like Eurobodalla – are a haven for bushwalkers and birdwatchers. Local life revolves around the beach and the small general store; you'll find no big resorts or nightlife here. Instead, enjoy the simple pleasures: a picnic on the sand, a swim in crystal-clear waves, and stargazing far from city lights. Red Head is ideal for travellers seeking solitude, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to disconnect. The nearest town with services is Batemans Bay, 30 minutes north, but Red Head itself remains wonderfully unspoilt. Accommodation is mostly holiday rentals and a few beachfront cabins. Be prepared for limited mobile reception in spots – embrace the off-grid vibe.",[10,13,15,17],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",{"key":18,"value":19},"Emergency (from mobile)","112",[21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45,48,51,54],{"key":22,"value":23},"Do I need a visa?","Most visitors need an eVisitor visa (free) or ETA; check Australian immigration website.",{"key":25,"value":26},"What currency is used?","Australian Dollar (AUD).
