Dundee Beach: A hidden gem in the Northern Territory

Darwin, the capital city of the Northern Territory, is a popular destination for interstate and international travellers but have you heard of Dundee Beach?


Known for its unspoilt natural beauty and still virtually untouched by the march of commercial development, Dundee Beach offers visitors a unique, not-to-be-missed experience for your Top End itinerary. 


This Top End hidden gem is an easy 90min drive from Darwin International Airport along fully sealed 2WD friendly roads (other than the last 300m of fully graded dirt - still fine for 2WD). Dundee Beach is a picturesque, coastal pocket-of-paradise that offers you the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to stay and unwind or an action-packed holiday full of fishing charters and tours, Skippers Dundee Beach has something for everyone.   


One of the main reasons to book our Dundee Beach accommodation on your next Top End holiday is for its unmatched fishing, secluded setting, colourful characters and quiet sandy beaches. Skippers at Dundee is the perfect accommodation with 10 privately, ensuited rooms, expansive 180-degree beachfront views, epic full-day fishing charters & unique experiences that you must not miss in your Top End itinerary.


Dundee Beach offers a wide variety of marine life, from river, reef and big game fish to turtles, crocodiles and dolphins. For a tremendous half day on the water to witness the wildlife and try your hand at fishing and crabbing, Skippers at Dundee has created our very own Nature Cruise.


Our beachfront accommodation at Dundee Beach has tropical ocean views and is well placed to explore the region. Stunning Litchfield National Park is just over an hour and a half away with cascading waterfalls, clear natural swimming pools and a range of hiking trails. When you stay at Skippers Dundee's beachfront accommodation, we highly recommend doing a day trip to Litchfield National Park and Berry Springs Nature Reserve to enjoy the sights and sounds of the local flora and fauna.


For those who love fishing, Dundee Beach is a paradise. Dundee Beach is known for its excellent fishing, with species such as barramundi, mangrove jack, and threadfin salmon readily caught in the region. Skippers at Dundee not only offer accommodation but also guided fishing tours available for those who want to maximize their chances of catching epic fish off Dundee Beach.


Dundee Beach is also a great place to stay for those seeking an experience slightly off-the grid, something different to Kakadu, Uluru or Darwin city. Skippers at Dundee offers clean, comfortable and tranquil accommodation where guests get so much more than just a room with their booking. The plunge pool, broad ocean-facing decks, open plan living/ dining space and huge commercial kitchen are freely available to all our guests.


So, make sure to add Dundee Beach as a must-see destination when you visit Darwin. It offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, beautiful beaches, natural landscapes, excellent fishing, comfortable accommodation and proximity to other popular destinations. If you're planning a trip to Darwin, be sure to add Skippers at Dundee Beach to your itinerary!
