Five Mile Beach - NT

On the north side of the river is a south-facing mangrove-fringed point, which on its western side forms the southern end of 9.1 km long, west-facing Five Mile Beach (NT 93). This beach is the outermost of the 25 beach-foredune ridges that have formed between the river and the northern Stingray Head (Fig. 5.13). The beach is relatively straight and fronted by 1.5 km wide mud flats that widen slightly to the south. A couple of fishing shacks are located in lee of the beach at the river mouth, with 4WD access along the beach.

Five Mile Beach is a very accessible beach if you have a reliable 4WD
