Casuarina Coastal Reserve protects a large coastal area in Darwin's northern suburbs. The reserve is popular for its white sandy beaches, shady picnic areas, cycle paths and wildlife. World War II artillery observation posts are a reminder of the area's wartime involvement. Located between the mouth of Rapid Creek and Buffalo. Behind the beaches and dunes are mangroves, monsoon vine thickets and paperbark forests. Barbecues, tables and shade make the area a popular picnic spot. Enjoy a stroll on the beach or along the track to Sandfly Creek. Birdwatchers come to see ospreys, kites, red-tailed black-cockatoos, cormorants and gulls along the dunes or soaring overhead.
