A 155m pier extending into Darwin Harbour from the Nightcliff foreshore. Popular for fishing (barramundi, bream, mangrove jack), sunset watching, and early morning exercise. The jetty was rebuilt after being destroyed by Cyclone Tracy in 1974. Nightcliff Jetty is one of Darwin's most beloved local fishing spots. The sunset views from the jetty are among the best in the city.
