 Iluka has long been
famous for fishing and serious anglers never visit without a frypan
in the fishing gear. People also come to this beautiful coastal town
to experience one of Australia’s rarest and most accessible
rainforest remnants.
The World Heritage
listed Iluka Nature Reserve contains the
largest remnant of littoral rainforest in NSW. It supports rich
vegetation and abundant bird and wildlife.
beach life
  
Iluka Bluff has an
excellent surfing beach and a great lookout platform with panoramic
views – ideal for whale-watching. There is a netted swimming area at
Iluka Bay and beautiful beaches with picnic areas at Back beach,
Frazers Reef and Woody Head.
Surfers and fisherman
love the natural charm of Iluka.
A walk along the sea
wall is the perfect way to unwind – or just sit, meditate and marvel
at the tranquillity. This is a playground for dolphins. Take a trip
on the local passenger ferry across the mouth of the river to Yamba
for the day. At dawn and
dusk watch the trawlers make their way to and from the harbour.
  
A tour bus operates
during the summer school holidays. It is a great way of exploring
the township of Iluka and links up with the passenger ferry between
Iluka and Yamba. And there's no shortage
of excellent accommodation options: three caravan parks, a motel and
many holiday apartments/self contained accommodation to choose from.
There are a number of
art & craft
galleries in Iluka and the nearby Woombah
for visitors to browse, enjoying the wealth of local artistic
talent. Play a round
with some kangaroos and emus at the local 9-hole
golf course, have a
relaxing game of bowls,
or a refreshing game of
tennis at the nearby courts.
