About This Beach
Casuarina Beach features a designated free beach section north of the main beach area. Located within the Casuarina Coastal Reserve, this tropical beach offers warm waters and stunning sunsets over the Timor Sea. The clothing-optional section is well-marked and maintained. Note that swimming is seasonal due to marine stingers - the dry season (May to October) is the best time to visit. Always check local conditions and stinger warnings.
