If you enjoy the beach, Darwin is a superlative city. Casuarina Beach and Mindil Beach are the most popular, despite occasional visits by box jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles. Both contain numerous sites of interest, beyond the inherent opportunity soak up some sun.
Casuarina Coastal Reserve protects native fauna and flora between Rapid Creek and Buffalo Creek and features World War II artillery observation posts, as well as sacred aboriginal landmarks.
The sunset markets at Mindil Beach feature multicultural vendors and cuisine, a vibrant slice of Darwin life.
