Directions: There is car parking available on John Street at the
western end of Queens Esplanade immediately adjacent to Beth Boyd Park (where
public toilet facilities are located) and car parking at points along Queens Esplanade itself.
The Beth Boyd Parkland can be explored; initially via the concreted walkway and
then continuing along the publicly accessible flat grassed area in front of the
private properties with the mangroves and shoreline immediately adjacent and ending
at the Tingalpa Creek mouth. The western quarter of Queens Esplanade where the
mudflats are widely exposed and easily visible is best for viewing a good variety
of waders; particularly in the summer months when the tides are right, though it
is also worth the walk eastwards right along the reserve to Aquatic Paradise Park
West and the Tarradarrapin Creek mouth checking out the mangrove belt and other more
open coastal areas along the way.
