Mangrove Boardwalk

Very nice and refreshing walk! Peaceful and natural environment. It's good to walk there to escape the heat.

Nice short walk, mostly shaded. Went mid-tide so there was a bit of water. Spotted a few different birds and a possum. Would like to go back during early morning or evening when there would be more wildlife activity.

We stopped there on the way to the Military Museum. I was surprised who nice the climate was in between the mangroves. My dad who was visiting from overseas loved it. The last 50m were still submerged with water in the second half of June. Definitely worth a refreshing stroll.

Nice little walk, shady for the most part. Lots of bird life and different types of mangroves as well as crab holes. Easy walk to do with kids.

Small but interesting peek into mangrove life, make sure you dont go at low tide, as not much to see.

It was a rainy Tuesday afternoon during our School Holidays. Went for a drive with the Grandkids to check out the playground, the historic sights at East Point, and to see if the wallabies had ventured out.
A very beautiful place and is FREE to wander around. East Point is home to the Darwin Military Museum (pay Admission) and some gun turrets and sheds from WW2 that I think are free to roam around in and the Pony Club backs onto the Museum.
Some beautiful walking tracks, PeeWee's restaurant (check times), and an area to fly model Planes are available.
Two large playgrounds and Lake Alexander is able to be safely swum in all year round. BBQ's available for picnics and toilet blocks.
At low tide at East Point you can fish off the rocks and maybe catch our famous barramundi!
Lots to do and you can do it all for FREE!
Enjoy.

Went at low tide. Fun to see all the different multicoloured crabs. Short but interesting walk.

Very peaceful. Short walk here. The tide was out at the time being, only saw the mangroves, crab holes and insects. Would be better if having some water flowing in.

Beautiful mangrove boardwalk. Mangroves all over the world are being destroyed and I am glad to see some well preserved mangrove in Darwin.

An easy short walk partly on a boardwalk through the mangrove swamp. Take you time and enjoy the surroundings.

Short walk to the water and mangroves - very peaceful. No water on the way at this time of year - would be better after the rain, so long as the crocs aren't around!

Beautiful short walk from East Point through vegetation, onto the boardwalk and into the mangroves. We went at a time when the tide was coming in so we could make it to the end. We saw a range of crabs, snails and mudskippers.

Great short walk into the wilderness. Enjoy the mangroves at end and explore different birds and crabs while reaching the final boardwalk. Once you enter the dense bush area, it’s not too far before you are at end.

Some Tiwi people camp in the bushes during day. You won’t see or hear them mostly but might see a free passing by when you are walking. It was interesting to talk to some of them as they showed me their camp sites and taught some words of their language (Ivannah - Hello).

It's a great little walk through the bush and the mangroves and out to the sea - it also goes underwater in high tide (wasn't game to wade in). The information signs along the way could do with a reprint though. Look out for the crabs in the mud and see what happens when you drop them a leaf or two from the mangroves!
