Such a picturesque area with great spots for swimming and fishing. There are many grassed areas that are perfect for a picnic. We also visited Lake Alexander on the other side of the road and this is another great spot for families for picnicking and swimming.

My partner and I lived nearby and, every week, would discover new wonders. Besides Lake Alexander, the most conspicuous view you will initially observe is the beach, surrounding Fanny Bay, overlooking the quiet city in the distance. But, East Point is teaming with so many other highlights. One highlight the remarkable path called the Mangrove Boardwalk, in which, at high tide, you are literally standing on water, in the ocean, surrounded by the mangroves, peering into the ocean. Another highlight are the walking tracks, commencing near the renowned restaurant, Pee Wees, that penetrate into the forest, and allow you to observe wallabies, lizards, and huge nests, created by the orange-footed bush fowl. A third highlight, a bit farther from Pee Wees, are the lookouts at Dudley point. You might even find your way to the bottom of these cliffs and dip into the harbour. If you can access an e-scooter or bike, you can even skim around the edge of this pack, watching the waves crashing in the cliff faces that surround the reserve. Right at the end of this road, on the beach, are some remarkable rocks that fill with water and small marine life during high tide.

I very much enjoyed a lap of the park, so much so that I turned around and went back the way I came (the view is always different in the opposite direction). Total 12 km from the entrance gate. Would be nice to take a thermos and have morning tea at any one of the great points of interest. Great views of Darwin from here. Also saw quite a few wallabies in the quieter section.
