Darwin Waterfront

Darwin Waterfront is a harbour-front precinct in Darwin City, Northern Territory, built around Stokes Hill Wharf on Darwin Harbour. Developed from 2006 and opened from 2008, it combines man-made swimming lagoons, parklands, promenades and dining areas. It is notable as Darwin's central recreational waterfront, offering safe year-round swimming, harbour views, and a hub for dining, events and cruises close to the CBD.

Visitors can expect an urban waterfront precinct with paved promenades, landscaped parklands and two main lagoons - the patrolled Recreation Lagoon and the Wave Lagoon with artificial waves. The area includes Stokes Hill Wharf with restaurants and cruise departures, open lawns, public art, shaded seating, and views across Darwin Harbour. Dining venues, cafes, and event spaces line the waterfront, with walking paths connecting to Bicentennial Park and the Darwin Convention Centre.
