The sister towns of Dongara and Port Denison are well distinguished due to the Irwin River, creating a scenic landmark between the two, the fig tree-lined streets of Dongara, old buildings and boutique charm. The area is renowned for fishing and has great beaches that can be seen from Fisherman's Lookout at Port Denison. While here take advantage of the Dongara Heritage Trail that takes you to 17 points of interest in Dongara including the Royal Steam Roller Flour Mill and Russ Cottage.

Dongara Markets are held on the first Saturday of every month, from 9am to 3pm at the town park and Priory Lodge is a glorious historical establishment, right near the Irwin River, constructed in 1881. It was run by the Dominical Sisters for 70 years and today it serves as a bar and restaurant and also offers accommodation.
