Why it's worth checking out
The Casuarina Coastal Reserve Picnic Ground sits on Trower Road at Brinkin, within the beautiful Casuarina Coastal Reserve in Darwin's north. A 4.5 rating from 99 reviews reflects its standing as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely natural coastal setting — a picnic ground within the reserve's expanse of beaches, mangroves and bushland, perfect for a picnic, a walk, a swim in the dry season or simply relaxing by the sea, a genuine local favourite for a day out in nature. It's a lovely escape close to the city.
Reserves and beaches have changing conditions and seasonal considerations (including stingers and crocodiles at times), so heed local safety advice and check current details before you go. Otherwise it's a free, easygoing spot to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection, water and take your time.
