Iluka Nature Reserve covers 136 hectares and protects the largest remaining stand of littoral rainforest in New South Wales. The rainforest grows next to the beach and is a rich and diverse ecosystem adapted to a harsh environment of salt-laden winds and poor soils.
The nature reserve has a 2.5km walking track. From the north, the walk follows the back of the protective sand dunes, passing Tuckeroo and Banksia trees. From the south the walk passes beneath the tall forest canopy dominated by Riberry and Broad-leaved Lilly Pilly trees.
Allow around one and a half hours to walk the length of the track one way. The walking track is easy grade and can be accessed by a wheelchair.
Iluka Bluff picnic area provides picnic facilities for day use. Gas barbecues are located further north along Iluka Road at Shark Bay picnic area.
