- Parking
These are fantastic markets and more than likely the best Darwin has to offer. Parking can get a little tedious so be prepared for that if you arent arriving early. This is at the entrance to the beach so is great on sunset to watch the sun go down over the sea. This is a family friendly environment and a foodies paradise with cuisine for all over the globe being showcased here. There are trinkets and artisan products for sale. My partner and I got a crocodile hot dog from here - absolutely get one of these, so delicious. Like a garlciey chicken sausage, very very nice.
Mindil Beach is a perfect spot to enjoy the majestic Darwin sunsets and the eclectic atmosphere of the markets. The vendors sell everything from jewelry and clothing to food and there is a festive air with music and locals sometimes dancing traditional tribal dances. Even if you are not looking to buy anything, it's definitely worth a visit.
