With a population just under 2,400, this hidden gem offers unspoiled beaches, excellent fishing, and a laid-back lifestyle. The chilled-out vibe of Park Beach and the nearby Lime Bay Nature Reserve invite you to swim, kayak, or simply bask in the pristine surroundings. Local seafood is a highlight—try fresh oysters or catch your own flathead. The town’s narrow roads wind through eucalyptus forests and farmland, revealing postcard views of the river and distant mountains. While Tamar Island and the MONA museum are a short drive away, Dodges Ferry itself is all about disconnecting: no high-rise hotels, no nightclubs, just the rhythm of the tides. Friendly locals love a chat at the general store or the local pub, and the pace slows to a crawl. Whether you’re a family seeking safe swimming, an angler chasing salmon, or a nature lover exploring the coastal heath, this pocket of Tasmania delivers authentic, unspoiled adventure.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",[16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49],{"key":17,"value":18},"What currency is used?","Australian Dollar (AUD).
