view listing

Iluka's Bluff Beach is a glorious location to visit and enjoy. The picnic area has a whale watching platform that offers a vantage point with 360 degree views along the coast and inland over the treetops of the World Heritage Listed Iluka Nature Reserve Rainforest.

The southern end has a large car park and is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer holidays. Bluff Beach offers car parking, picnic tables, toilets, information displays and access to the Iluka Nature Reserve Rainforest walk. The 2.5 kilometre walking track will guide you through the diverse ecosystem of the largest remaining stand of Littoral rainforest in New South Wales.

Esk River paddle route

Iluka Road, The Freshwater NSW 2466

The sheltered inland waterways are a perfect way to explore the southern section of Bundjalung National Park. Paddling up Esk River, the longest unspoilt natural coastal river system on the north coast, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a wildlife wonderland. When you push off from Bill Weiley Bridge and head upstream, you’ll glide past mangroves, heathland and old growth dry sclerophyll forest; keep your eye out for the unique rock formations. This is prime birdwatching territory so get your binoculars ready. Downstream, closer to the Clarence River entrance, pied oystercatchers and eastern whipbirds are common. If you’re lucky you might see a koala snoozing or snacking on gum leaves in the branches of the tallowwood and swamp mahogany....

Iluka

40532 - Iluka NSW 2466

view listing

Iluka is both tucked-away and close-by at the same time, so its natural delights have been preserved in a quiet atmosphere. If you love your seafood, you can't go wrong in Iluka. Bring your bikes, boards, rods and enjoy all that Iluka has to offer. Fishing has to top this list! With ocean and river access, Iluka is a fisherman’s mecca – for starters try Iluka Beach for some bream, tailor or flathead. Experience the incredibly peaceful rainforest of the Iluka Nature Reserve. As you stroll through the littoral (coastal) rainforest, there’s no shortage of wildlife to be seen, heard, and appreciated. Head out to the Iluka Bluff to catch the spectacular 360 - degree views out over the coast and inland rainforest. Pack some tasty sandwiches or pick up some lunch from town and enjoy a family picnic. See if you can spot some whales from the viewing platform. Those in the know testify that nearby Woody Head campground is a perfect spot to take in the coast. With unspoilt golden beaches, rockpools, ocean views and bordering a national park; it really is special. Booking ahead is essential though. The Bundjalung National Park is just another one of the Clarence Valley’s natural wonders not to be missed! It offers fishing, hiking, camping (at Woody Head and Black Rocks) and kayaking (along the Esk and Jerusalem Rivers). But Iluka is not all about the kids, there are also great cafes, galleries and gift stores for mums to escape to as well. Dad, you'll get great me-time as well, with great surf and fishing spots on your doorstep....

Shark Bay

Shark Bay, Iluka NSW 2466

0266430800

view listing

For such a fearsomely named location, Shark Bay is a picture of tranquility, and it is nicely sheltered from southerly and south-easterly winds and swell. This is the first turnoff to the beach on the way in to Iluka from the highway, and provides beach 4WD access north from here, along the expansive curve known as ’10 Mile Beach’ up to Black Rock and its secrets. 4WD access is only at low tide however. There are no toilets or amenities here, with moderate car parking space by the road side. This is an unpatrolled beach, so entering the ocean is entirely at your own risk. If you’re not familiar with the ocean – even if you are – they can’t stress enough how deceptive even the calmest stretch of ocean can be. Please use common sense and discretion. This looks like a delightful place for a dip in calm conditions, though it appears to be a bit of a seaweed magnet up toward the south end, if seaweed ain’t your thing. Being part of the Bundjalung National Park, no pooches or camping allowed....

Woody Head

41683 - Woody Head NSW 2466

view listing

Home to one of their favourite camping spots, visitors and locals alike love Woody Head Camp ground. This is one of those idyllic spots that campers come back to year after year. Even the drive in off the main road is a thing of beauty. The foreshore is scattered with tables and barbecue areas and grassy spots just begging for a picnic or a lazy nap. There’s a boat ramp and a sheltered lagoon that offers protected swimming and snorkelling. They suspect Woody Head is named as such for the way the trees come right down to the tideline to meet the ocean. There’s lots of driftwood and fallen trees in the small picturesque bay that horseshoes north from the campground. A splendid place to camp and enjoy being surrounded by nature. Be sure to book ahead because this place is popular!...

Frazers Reef

Frazers Reef Road, Iluka NSW 2466

0266430800

view listing

Heading into Iluka from the highway, when the golf course appears on your right, keep an eye out for the Frazers Reef turnoff on the left. As far as well-maintained National Park beachside havens go, Iluka punches well above its weight and Frazers Reef is a typically quiet Iluka gem. The carpark / picnic area has toilets, barbecues, and a pleasing number of tempting tracks that meander to the beach. The main track leads to a small observation area which looks out to a large, exposed reef shelf to the north, and the southwards curve of the beach is flanked by Iluka Bluff. As scenic as this beach is, it has a slightly steeper gradient than Shark Bay or Woody Head, and certainly feels more exposed to the ocean’s energy. It is unpatrolled. Any oceanic activity, be it swimming, surfing or rock fishing would need to be exercised with extreme caution....

Iluka Break Wall

Beach Street, Iluka NSW 2466

0266430800

view listing

Created to help stabilise the bar for the ocean fleet, the Iluka Break Wall is a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. With views of nearby Yamba in the distance, don't forget to look down and see what you can discover amongst the waves. Legend has it the dolphins love following the trawlers to get an easy feed so keep your eyes peeled. Recent refurbishments have upgraded this facility repair the years of the relentless pounding of the waves. On a calm day, walk to the end of this impressive structure while keeping a mindful eye on the crashing waves from the left and onto Main beach. On the right side, there are the remains of an old fishing trawler and the shape of the wreck below can be spotted in the calmer weather. The wall is a great spot for fishermen to cast from in the protected waters. The creation of the “Wall” also resulted in producing an impressive wave for the talented local and visiting surfers....

Iluka Main Beach

Main Beach, Iluka NSW 2466

0266430800

view listing

Iluka’s Main Beach is 2.5 kilometres of pure beach joy! The extreme south end, up against the rock wall that herds the Clarence River out to sea, is a surf spot of unique note – incoming swells refract off the rock wall and ricochet back, creating an unusually powerful ‘wedge’ shaped wave. This is on the To Do list of any visiting surfer. From the north end of main beach you can history spot with remains of an old railway track sometimes visible at low tide. There is even the occasional wheel emerging from the sands. This is a remnant from the tramway built to carry rocks from the headland to create the wall at the north end of the beach in the late 1800s. There’s also some pretty cool rock formations to check out. And in-between these bookends? Iluka Main beach is dog friendly, and 4WD-friendly at low tide, but council permission must be sought. It’s a big, broad, robust beauty of a thing. The carpark includes a shower and toilets, so you can wash off before heading to pick up fish and chips for lunch from the nearby takeaway. What a day!...

Esk River

43916 - Iluka NSW 2466

0266430800

view listing

If you happen to be staying around Iluka or Woombah, why don’t you discover Esk River? The sheltered inland waterway is a perfect way to explore the southern section of Bundjalung National Park. The Esk is some 20 metres wide and flows quietly, so is easy to paddle. If you’re into your fishing, it’s a magnificent kayak fishing river for a feed of bream, flathead and bass. And if you’re into bird watching, be sure to pack your binoculars, you won’t be disappointed. The Esk River is well worth putting aside a day to explore if you are in the area. Make sure that you are comfortably set up, as it is almost impossible to get out of the kayak due to the dense vegetation and deep water along the bank. Paddling up Esk River, the longest unspoilt natural coastal river system on the north coast, you’ll feel like you’ve entered a wildlife wonderland....

Corner Long Street and Crown Street, Iluka NSW 2466

Suitable for all ages, this short walk takes you through the lush rainforest to the spectacular views at Iluka Bluff, offering a fantastic way to see the vibrant life of the rainforest up close. As you leave the township of Iluka, it’s extraordinary how quickly you’re transported back in time in this ancient rainforest ecosystem. It’s no wonder it’s part of the World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforests. There’s another beautiful large strangler fig ahead, intertwined with ferns and vines as it reaches up towards the tall canopy overhead. If you walk quietly, you might see or hear the brightly coloured noisy pitta and the sharp crack of the whipbird. After a leisurely stroll, you’ll arrive at Iluka Bluff Lookout with panoramic views and a great spot for picnicking and whale watching in the winter months. In the warmer months, why not have a swim or a snorkel by the beach before you head back to Iluka?...

It’s great place to see dolphins cruising around near the mouth of the river and whales on the annual migration along the coast, so be sure to take your binoculars. Stop for a quick look on your travels along the north coast or bring a picnic and stay for longer, there is an undercover picnic shelter a short walk from the lookout....
