Mindil Beach, Beach near Darwin, Australia
The white sand beach extends along the coastline of Fannie Bay, creating a natural boundary between the Timor Sea and Darwin's gardens district.
The name Mindil originated from the swamp behind Darwin's original town blocks during George Goyder's survey of Palmerston, the city's former name.
The seasonal sunset markets from April to October feature over 200 vendors offering local arts, crafts, performances, and international food options.
Swimming at the beach is monitored by lifeguards between June and September, with facilities including showers, toilets, and parking spaces.
The annual Darwin Beer Can Regatta takes place at Mindil Beach, where participants race boats constructed from empty aluminum cans.
