Casuarina Coastal Reserve protects a large coastal area between the mouth of Rapid Creek and Lee Point in Darwin. The highlights of the Reserve are white sandy beaches fringed by Casuarina trees and beautiful sandstone cliffs. Behind the beaches and dunes are mangroves, monsoon vine thickets and paperbark forests.
The reserve also protects areas of cultural significance. The Larrikia people speak for this land. Off shore is Old Man Rock, Dariba Nunggalinya, which is a registered Aboriginal sacred site. Although fishing is permitted, disturbing the rock in any way or the removal of shellfish at this site is prohibited. World War II artillery observation posts provide a reminder of the areas wartime involvement. 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 along the main roads.

During the winter months, May to September, travellers may swim at their own risk. Box jellyfish have been recorded throughout the year.
