Located just minutes from the city centre, the beach gives way to a tidal underwater world where snorkelers can explore the shallow sandy seabed and rocky edges along the beach's northern end. Best known for its spectacular tropical sunsets, bustling sunset markets (Thursday & Sunday), and — during the Dry Season (May–October) — calm, clear inshore waters that reveal a delightful array of marine life. The beach is a year-round local favourite, but stinger season (October–May) requires full protective suit and caution. The reserve behind the beach features a large grassy park, playground, and event spaces.","beginner","published",{"name":58,"amplitude":74,"phase":90,"latitude":22,"model":106,"epoch":107},[59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],0.026444211959682978,0.040266228460664646,0.5790623102781534,0.25259798786908577,1.6594250641602313,0.0749506905848954,0.01793954358828584,0.006883752889820902,0.31567500062178594,0.30225705458599295,0.16115847827181792,0.07361176258285632,0.03723585748071161,0.8911810813141829,0.04860370609938519,[91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105],199.06196216668297,239.49138167492276,202.42025783261465,291.6577283172944,246.96997089897354,91.65836836467815,13.246117100060955,331.3315188408707,227.4774360021117,190.99486225304156,206.29895877648647,177.95534041325715,12.458843199954515,294.7665709974228,295.86337760264786,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[109,115,120,124],{"name":110,"description":111,"severity":112,"season_start":113,"season_end":114},"Box Jellyfish & Irukandji (Stinger Season)","Deadly box jellyfish and irukandji are present in Darwin Harbour waters.
