Dundee Beach (Bynoe Harbour, NT) A relaxed coastal town and popular fishing spot 120 km south-west of Darwin, Dundee Beach is a favourite weekender and holiday destination for increasing numbers of people, mainly from Darwin but also from as far away as Alice Springs and Western Australia. Dundee Beach and Bynoe Haven also host several fishing competitions during the dry season and the fishing is great year round. Dundee featured prominently in many episodes of the fishing show "Fishing North Australia" by Alex Julius. Fishing, boating and long walks along the beach at sunset among the activities to enjoy.
Mindil Beach (Darwin, NT) Mindil is perhaps the most well known of Darwin's Beaches, as it is home to the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. The seasonal markets run from the last Thursday in April to the last Thursday in October and are renowned for their wide range of take-away foods which are traditionally eaten on the beach watching the sun set of the sea. The sunsets here are some of the best you could ever wish to see.
Wagait Beach (Mandorah, NT) Wagait Beach is a small but growing community of 450 permanents residents on the opposite side of Darwin Harbour to the Territory's capital. It is understood Wagait Beach was named after the group of aboriginal people who lived on the coast between the mouth of the Daly River and Darwin Harbour. It has been suggested that "Worgait" in Aboriginal language meant "Beach". Wagait Beach is 4km away from Mandorah, which overlooks Darwin Harbour. Mandorah is a popular place for day trips out of Darwin.
