Small coastal reserve protecting breeding fairy terns and shorebirds on Mandurah’s estuary — ideal for close-up bird behavior, nest-guarding shots and wide estuary compositions with sandflats and reflective water. Best at sunrise or early morning for soft light and active birds; late afternoon can give warm backlight. Access via boardwalks and viewing hides; free entry and nearby street parking. Respect signage during nesting season and keep distance to avoid disturbance.
