Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Lookout Point sits on the Esplanade in Darwin City, along the lovely waterfront in the heart of the Northern Territory capital. A near-perfect 4.9 rating from 23 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is beautiful views over the harbour — a lookout on the Darwin Esplanade with lovely outlooks over the water, a genuine favourite for taking in the scenery, catching the famous Top End sunsets or simply soaking up the setting right in central Darwin. It's a lovely, free outing.
Outdoor lookouts have changing conditions and seasonal considerations, so check current details before you go. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and your camera.
