Sun-seekers head to Mindil Beach to stroll and sunbathe, although it’s best to avoid swimming—the waters around Darwin are known for their crocodiles and jellyfish. Pack a picnic and stick around to watch the sunset from the shore, a favorite pastime among locals. Explore the tree-lined parks of the Mindil Beach Reserve, which stretches along the coast; or visit the Mindil Beach Casino Resort, which has a day spa, lagoon pool, and a huge casino. During the dry season, the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, held right by the beachside, are one of the city’s most popular attractions.
