A sheltered bay on the western side of Darwin's peninsula, flanked by the Darwin Museum, Fannie Bay Gaol (historic prison site), and a pleasant walking path. The Fannie Bay foreshore is popular for picnics and watching Darwin Harbour activity. Fannie Bay Gaol, one of Darwin's most historic buildings, overlooks the bay. The waterfront path is Darwin's most complete seaside promenade.
