Lameroo Beach, Beach in central Darwin, Australia
Lameroo Beach sits below the Esplanade in Darwin, featuring a rocky tidal zone accessed through stairs that wind through tropical rainforest.
The location housed the Darwin ocean baths from 1922 to 1974, serving as the city's primary swimming facility until their destruction by Cyclone Tracy.
The name originates from Damoe-Ra, meaning eye or spring in the language of the Larrakia people who traveled by canoe for ceremonies.
Swimming is restricted due to the presence of saltwater crocodiles and Irukandji jellyfish, with no lifeguard supervision available at the beach.
Between 1969 and 1974, the beach became a gathering point for up to 400 campers until legislation prohibited foreshore camping after Cyclone Tracy.
