Casuarina Coastal Reserve

Casuarina Coastal Reserve protects a large coastal area between the mouth of Rapid Creek and Buffalo Creek in Darwin. The highlights of the reserve are white sandy beaches fringed by Casuarina trees and beautiful sandstone cliffs.

Barbecues, tables and plenty of shade make the area a popular picnic spot. Enjoy a stroll on the beach or along the track to Sandfly Creek. There are also cycle paths throughout the park and along the main roads.

Wildlife such as ospreys, brahimny kites, red-tailed black-cockatoos, cormorants and gulls can be seen along the dunes or soaring overhead. You can see a variety of marine life in the rock pools at low tide.
