Why it's worth checking out
Lee Point Beach sits at Lee Point, near Casuarina in Darwin's northern suburbs. A beautiful, relatively quiet beach, it's a much-loved local spot — a lovely stretch of sand and tropical coastline backed by natural bushland, popular for a beach walk, taking in the scenery and enjoying a peaceful slice of the Top End coast.
The appeal is that combination of a gorgeous, natural coastal setting and an easygoing, relaxed atmosphere away from the busier beaches: room to walk along the sand, take in the tropical surrounds and enjoy the lovely coastal views, with the nearby reserve adding to the natural beauty. It's a peaceful, scenic spot to enjoy Darwin's coast.
With a 4.6 rating from nearly 600 reviews, it's a much-loved beach. It's free and open, but conditions, the tides and facilities vary — and in the tropical north it's important to be aware of seasonal marine stingers and crocodile safety, so swimming isn't always advised — so it's worth checking local conditions and signage before you go, taking sun protection, and enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery at Lee Point.
