Stokes Hill Wharf

Getting around: A short walk or drive from the Darwin CBD, near the Waterfront Precinct.
Hours: Open at all hours as a public wharf; restaurants and fishing tackle shops keep their own varying hours, generally into the evening.

A working wharf turned casual dining and fishing spot, with a handful of seafood restaurants and takeaway stalls looking out over Darwin Harbour. It's less polished than the newer Waterfront Precinct nearby but has an easygoing, unpretentious character and is popular with locals for fishing off the wharf itself.

It's a good sunset dinner option with harbour views, easily combined with a walk through the adjacent Waterfront Precinct.
