Mangrove Boardwalk

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

Visit in May - dry and maybe the reason for not seeing crabs about. A bit far off from centre if walking. No real public transport reaching here.

Short but well worth it. Bit of water on high tide.5-10 min walk, unlike the 30 min posted. Take a camera with you as it's a great photo opportunity at the end of the walk way

Really great walk in East Point when the tide is out. Lots of trees, crab holes, and mangroves. If the tide is in, you will not be able to make it to the end. It's still a pretty walk, but the end with the mangroves is the best part.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Short walk out to the most pristine mangroves I have seen. Did the walk around noon at mid tide, so there wasn't much water about but did see numerous birds, a couple of lizards and small crabs. The path is pram/wheel-chair friendly with bitumen or boardwalk the entire way. Highly recommended. Go at high tide and you might also see a Barra or a Croc!
