Mandorah Beach, across the harbour from Darwin, is a popular beach for fishing. Mandorah Beach gives you unspoilt city views. The Mandorah Jetty is a great place to throw a line in. Some of the common fish caught at the jetty are Queensfish, Shark, Barramundi, Mackerel and many more. Facilities at Mandorah Beach Hotel include a family size swimming pool, 24 hour liquor license, counter meals from the bar, dining room that caters for functions and business luncheons.
As with other localities, visitors should check that the water is safe prior to swimming, as sharks and crocodiles can be found here at certain times throughout the year.
Mandorah is reached by a 14 minute ferry ride on the Darwin Sea Cat from the Cullen Bay Ferry Terminal, or a 128km drive from Darwin which includes 10km of gravel road.
This locality on the Cox Peninsula is named after "Mandorah", a guest house built in the area by Allan Hartwig. The name was first officially recorded as an address on correspondence between Mrs Florence Hartwig and the Lands Department in May 1948. Mr Allan Hartwig held Occupation Licence No. 242 of about 20 acres. Although the name appears first in 1948, the name could have been applied during or just after World War II.
