Beautiful Beaches and Fascinating Places of Darwin

Mindil Beach in Darwin Australia

Darwin is known for its beautiful beaches. Darwin’s popular beaches include Mindil and Vestey's. In north Darwin there's a stinger net protecting part of Nightcliff Beach. Further east, a stretch of Casuarina Beach is officially designated for nudies. A word of caution, however: the wet season brings out the deadly box jellyfish, also known as stingers, and swimmers are strongly advised to check with the lifeguards first. Nearer these beaches lots of hotels in Darwin are placed.
