A moderately large number of stalls ranging from food items to souvenirs were available. The food weren't exceptional, but edible. Majority of the stalls are Asian food (Thai, Chinese, Japanese,...) More

The Mindil Beach Markets are the biggest and busiest in Darwin, and very popular with the tourists. They run on Thursdays and Sundays during the Dry Season, and do not run in the Wet Season. Other markets in Darwin, such as the markets at Rapid Creek, Nightcliff and Parap, run continuously throughout the year. Having been to the Parap markets... More

As usual, this market is great to go to, after leaving behind a Melbourne winter. While the food isn't always fantastic, the atmosphere makes up for the rest. Love the street entertainment. More

I don't think there is anywhere in Australia that is quite like Mindil Beach Markets. I'm sure that even though Darwin is relatively small in population, there are more food stalls here than at any market in Australia. There must be a hundred, and a lot of them are outstanding. If you're a vegetarian (and I am), they do have... More

True craft market lovers will be a bit disappointed as there is not very much in the way of unique craft. Lots of t'shirts, hats and souvenir type stalls but all a bit mass produced. Being located right on the beach front it is an ideal location to view one of Darwin's stunning sunsets! The market has a great atmosphere... More

A nice experience however be wary when buying things from the markets, I saw the same item I paid $25 for at the markets I saw in a souvenir shop for $16. I'm not sure how they justify that. The variety of food available was extensive. Get you spot on the beach early as it gets very crowded quickly just... More

Being our hometown we visit the markets a couple of times per season - usually with interstate visitors. There are loads of food stalls, and also art and craft...and of course the inevitable crap/trash that markets have. My tip is to arrive well prior to sunset, get some food and sit on the beach. Make sure that you sit away... More

The Mindil beach markets are a must see. The only down side is the huge number of peoplethat attend....very hard to find somewhere to sit as a group to eat. There are so many choices for food it's head spinning.... The star of the show would have to be the sunset, viewed by thousands on the beach. Lots of arts... More

Mindil Market is an evening market; we arrived about 5 p.m. It was what I would consider a medium size market. (having been to the Salamanca Market in Hobart Tasmania which is HUGE). There was stacks of variety, lots of different choices of food to eat, and the music was fantastic - there was a didgeridoo/drum band called Rawdidge and... More
