Iluka Main Beach

Iluka Main Beach is a must-see spot for surfing and history lovers.

Stretching over 2.5 kilometers, it offers pure beach joy and the opportunity to explore the great outdoors.

The southern end of the beach is a unique surfing spot. The waves refract off the rock wall, creating a powerful and wedge-shaped wave that attracts surfers from all over.

History buffs can take a walk through history at the north end of the beach. Remnants of an old railway track can sometimes be seen at low tides, along with rock formations to explore.

Iluka Main Beach is dog and 4WD friendly at low tides, with council permission required for driving on the beach. It offers a fun-filled day for families, friends, and pets.

Facilities such as toilets and hot showers are available at the beach car park, ensuring a comfortable stay. Visitors can also wash off the sand before enjoying lunch from a nearby takeaway.

The beach is open year-round with no entry fee. It is best to visit from September to April when the weather is warm and sunny. Checking the weather forecast and tide tables is recommended for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Iluka Main Beach is located in Iluka, New South Wales, accessible from the southern end of Charles Street. It is approximately 230 kilometers from Brisbane or 70 kilometers from Ballina along the Pacific Highway.
