Also on the council page
- The council page does not set a crocodile or stinger rule. Box jellyfish are a summer risk in Darwin Harbour, and crocodiles live in these waters. This tool does not turn that into a dog rule. Check the beach signs and NT government safety advice before you go in the water.
- The fenced Bundilla Beach dog park at 39 East Point Road is a dog park, not this beach, and is not given a beach status.
