Why it's worth checking out
Cullen Beach sits at Larrakeyah, near the lovely Cullen Bay precinct in Darwin, Northern Territory. A near-perfect 4.9 rating from 39 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a lovely beach close to the city — a beautiful stretch of coast near Cullen Bay, a genuine favourite for a walk, soaking up the famous Top End sunsets and enjoying the natural surrounds. It's a lovely, free coastal spot.
Beaches in the Top End have changing conditions, tides and seasonal considerations (including marine stingers at certain times), so check current details and any advisories before you swim. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take care in and around the water.
