Dam Road weaves through the quiet rural settlement of Saltwater River, intersecting Route C341 (Saltwater River Road) which enters from the east and finishes to the north, providing the main connection to Nubeena 14 km to the south. The streets are framed by the north‑eastern edge of Norfolk Bay and the nearby rise of Barnicoats Hill.

The 123 residents occupy homes typical of a small Tasman community, set amid the historic backdrop of the Coal Mines Historic Site and the remnants of former penal settlements. Although the post office closed in 1970, the locality is served by nearby weather stations and benefits from its coastal and natural surroundings.
