Casaurina Beach
Located 7km's east of the city is Darwin's nudist beach.
Lammeroo Beach
There is a path from the grassy area to the west of the Esplanade which leads down to Lameroo Beach. The beach is fairly stony, but there are the ruins of some sea water baths down here, although only foundations remain now.
Mindil Beach
Mindil Beach is near the Casino and the closest beach of good quality to the central part of Darwin. It starts about two kilometres from the city centre. If that is too far to walk, take a bus no. 4 or 6.
In the Dry Season, from May until October, this is the scene of a market every Thursday evening, specialising in food from many countries, reflecting the diverse ethnic origins of the residents of Darwin, but including many other wares and entertainments also. Swimming is safe in this beach except for the wet season when the box jelly fish are present. |
