What is there to do at Dundee Beach?

Dundee Beach is famous for fishing – you can hire a boat, bring a boat, cast off from the rocks or go out on a fishing charter. There’s plenty to do if you’re not into fishing though. You can:

·        take beach walks and enjoy lunch with sea views at the local Lodge of Dundee Beach, 

·        explore the hikes and cascading waterfalls at Litchfield National Park,

·        head out on our Nature Cruise, try your hand at crabbing and fishing and see the wildlife,

·        take to the skies and soar over pristine coastlines and azure oceans with a 6min, 15min or 30min helicopter flight from Skippers at Dundee,

·        explore the local bush and beach trails if you have a 4WD,

·        visit the Territory Wildlife Park just 45 minutes’ drive from Skippers at Dundee,

·        try land fishing at Barramundi Adventures at Berry Springs.

·        cool off, relax or explore beautiful Berry Springs Nature Park, just 45 mins from Skippers at Dundee.

·        Play cricket, croquet or volleyball on the lawns or board games, cards on the deck or in airconditioned comfort.

·        stretch out for a lazy day with a book.

·        visit Crab Claw Island just 30 mins drive away for a long lunch and scenic ocean views.

You don’t have to do anything of course. Just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility.

Are there crocodiles nearby?

Yes, the NT is home to the world’s largest wild crocodile population. That means you can go croc spotting and see one of nature’s most magnificent predators, up close. But don’t worry, observe all signs and follow the guidelines and you will be safe.

Can we swim at the beach?

We don’t advise it (see ‘crocodiles’ above). In fact, for your health and safety, we strongly advise against it. That’s why we put the pool in so you can enjoy a cooling swim and the view at the same time!

What should we bring with us?

Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, flips flops and closed in shoes for walking plus a few light, long-sleeve, cotton shirts are recommended. The nearby local pub sells fuel, drinks, bistro and take-away meals, ice and a small range of essential grocery items from sun-up to sun-down 7 days per week.

Can we bring our pets?

Sorry, but no. This is a strictly pet-free zone. We want to protect the local wildlife—and your pets too.

Is Wi-Fi and mobile phone reception available?

Dundee Beach has coverage for Telstra providers only. Wi-Fi is available for basic internet and mobile usage. Streaming is discouraged. Plan options available to us are limited so basic internet usage is requested.  

Are we allowed to light a campfire?

Lighting fires is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property. The dry season lasts several months so fire hazard is very high from May through to November generally speaking.

Is there more ‘Guest Information’ available at Skippers?

Yes, you’ll find a folder in the living room with helpful info about Skippers and the region, including things to do and see.
