Casuarina Beach

Casuarina Beach is one of the most popular in Darwin, extending from Rapid Creek through Casuarina to Lee Point.

Except for the very high spring tides, the beach is a wide expanse of white sand, a great place to walk the dog, go for a run or just enjoy the evening breeze and setting sun. It's easy to find, simply drive along to the end of Trower Rd.

Casuarina Reserve Information Sign

A section is set aside as a free beach and current trials allow Blo-Karting along the sand if you have a permit and stay in the designated area. Check the beach signs for details.

Remember that box jellyfish are present in these seas almost all year round, however June, July and August are considered safe for swimming.
The occasional crocodile is spotted here too, so be vigilant. Crocodile traps are set to remove them from the area, but there is always the chance one will be passing by.

Darwin Surf Lifesaving Club

The Darwin Surf Lifesaving Club is located just behind the beach, next to a picnic area with lots of green grass and shady trees.

Play ground and BBQ area

The picnic area has BBQ plates and play equipment for the kids, drinking fountains and showers to wash off the sand from the beach.

A bike track follows the coast from Nightcliff, over Rapid Creek and past the university to the cliff tops at Casuarina overlooking the beach.
