Snug suburb profile

Snug, on Tasmania's D'Entrecasteaux Channel south of Hobart, is a small coastal township where the Snug River meets sheltered channel waters. It has a low-key village centre with basic shops and community facilities, a foreshore used for boating and fishing and surrounding bushland with walking tracks. Housing ranges from older timber cottages and modest weatherboard homes to newer coastal residences on leafy blocks, giving the place a relaxed seaside character. Snug appeals to people seeking a quieter coastal lifestyle with access to the city along the coastal road and plenty of outdoor recreation close to home.
