"It's quite a trek from the city centre (about a 20-minute drive) but Darwin’s newest café should be on every visitor's hit list. Combine a walk or a bike ride to the Dripstone Cliffs with refreshment at this fabulous spot. Housed inside a surf club in the Casuarina Coastal Reserve, De la Plage sprawls across a grassy expanse overlooking the Arafura Sea."
