Map of Margate, TAS 7054

Margate is a coastal town and locality in southern Tasmania, Australia, situated on the Channel Highway between the D'Entrecasteaux Channel and the Snug Tiers, approximately 7 km (4.3 mi) south of Kingston and 20 km (12 mi) south of the Hobart CBD. It lies mostly within the Kingborough Council local government area, with a small portion extending into the Huon Valley Council. The town is part of the Greater Hobart statistical area.

Margate developed historically around orcharding and coastal shipping. It was officially gazetted as a township in 1866, and recorded a population of 4,239 at the 2021 census. Today, many residents commute to Hobart or Kingston for employment. The town also supports local industries including retail, hospitality, and aquaculture, with nearby facilities such as Tassal’s salmon processing plant and the Crisp Bros & Haywards Margate Shipyard contributing to township employment.

Margate features a mix of suburban and semi-rural landscapes, with access to the sheltered waters of North-West Bay. Its position along the Channel Highway makes it a regular stopping point for travellers heading south to destinations such as Snug, Kettering, and the Bruny Island ferry terminal. The town is home to visitor attractions including Dru Point Bicentennial Park and the Channel Heritage Centre, which documents the cultural and maritime history of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel region. A visible reminder of its industrious heritage is the Margate Train, a roadside attraction featuring a preserved locomotive and carriages repurposed as small businesses beside a former Henry Jones IXL apple packing shed.
