About Iluka - Tourist Sites & Accommodation
Iluka is a laid-back fishing village, nestling in a unique location on a peninsula, bordered on one side by the mighty Clarence River and by World Heritage Bundjalung National Park and pristine beaches on the other. The hamlet of Woombah hosts a small coffee shop with its own plantation, supplying beans, ground coffee and many other coffee products to the local area. Iluka has many eateries: restaurants at the Bowling and Golf Clubs, a seafood Bistro at Sedgers Reef Hotel and various café and take-away shops in addition to essential shopping requirements. Clarence River Ferries run a daily shuttle service across the Clarence to Yamba and two cruises per week. A range of facilities is available for visitors; art gallery, craft and souvenir shops, golf, bowls, tennis and all manner of water sports ensure there is plenty to do.
However, the magnificent beaches and great fishing are the major drawcards for visitors. Clarence River seafood is world-renowned and the fishing fleet ensures the seafood in town is always fresh. For prawns, there is nowhere better than Iluka! For those not interested in fishing, Iluka offers long stretches of unspoiled beaches, private picnic areas and perhaps Australia's most easily accessible and most rare remains of rainforest.
Bundjalung National Park is home to nearly 300 species of bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile. Iluka Nature Reserve is a World Heritage listed area and provides a haven for native wildlife…lucky visitors are able to view animals flourishing in their native environment.
The park is named for the Bundjalung Aboriginal nation, the original occupiers of the land prior to European settlement. Bundjalung features 38km of beach, fresh water lagoons, sections of littoral (coastal) rainforest, rock platforms, mangrove mudflats and contains the picturesque sleepy Esk River, which is the longest coastal river remaining in a natural state on the north coast.
