- Mangrove boardwalks — A rare patch of grey mangroves right at the water’s edge; shaded, easy walking and full of fiddler crabs and small fish, great for a quiet, birdy stroll without getting bogged down in mud.
- Tidal mudflats and feeding grounds — At low tide the exposed flats turn into a buffet for migrating waders and shorebirds. Bring binoculars: you’ll see sandpipers, plovers and other interesting small birds poking about for food.
- Observation tower and bird hides — Small raised platforms give sweeping views of the bay and concentrated bird activity. They’re the place to spot herons, terns, and sometimes rarer visitors without disturbing them.
- Arad Fort vantage point — The historic fort sits beside the reserve and makes an instant viewpoint for the bay. It mixes history with nature

- Arad Fort vantage point — The historic fort sits beside the reserve and makes an instant viewpoint for the bay. It mixes history with nature — climb up for skyline and sea views, especially when the light is good.
- Coastal walking trails and picnic lawns — Short, well-kept paths thread the park and end at grassy picnic spots; ideal for a relaxed walk, a stroller-friendly outing, or a wind-cooled break on a hot day.
- Sunsets and photo opportunities — The low sun paints the mudflats and water with colors and silhouettes, turning ordinary scenes into great photos. Go late afternoon for reflections, fishing boats, and dramatic bird silhouettes.
