De La Plage

Last updated April 2026

Set along Casuarina Beach in Brinkin, De La Plage at the Surf Life Saving Club is a kid-friendly restaurant with ocean views that make every meal feel like a holiday. The open deck lets little ones watch waves roll in while parents relax with coffee, and the children’s menu turns fussy eaters into happy campers with familiar favourites like fish and chips or chicken tenders. A short stroll from the carpark takes families straight to the sand, perfect for post-lunch sandcastle sessions or a quick dip in the shallows. It’s a place where parents can unwind and kids feel like they’re dining on their own adventure, all within easy reach of Darwin’s northern beaches. Searching for things to do with kids in Brinkin often leads families here for a relaxed meal with a side of salt breeze. **What to Bring** Light layers for sea breezes. Swimwear and a towel for after the meal. A hat and sunscreen — shade is limited on the deck at midday. A small toy or book to keep little ones entertained while waiting for food. Water bottles for thirsty explorers. **Best Age Range** Best for toddlers and preschoolers aged 1–6 years old. **Good to Know** No bookings required for casual dining. The children’s menu is half price on weekdays before 5pm. Parking is free but fills up quickly on weekends and during school holidays. The kitchen closes at 8pm daily. **Nearby** The playground at Casuarina Coastal Reserve in Brinkin is just a two-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends — it gets packed by 10am with locals and visitors alike. Bring a spare change of clothes; kids always end up sandy after exploring the beach. The fish burger is a hit with both kids and parents, so save room.
