The best camping near Bluff Beach guide

Overview

About

Bluff Beach in Iluka is a coastal haven, offering a tranquil escape with its sheltered sands and family-friendly atmosphere. Visitors can bask in the sun, swim in the patrolled waters during summer holidays, and explore the unique littoral rainforest on a scenic walk. With its whale watching platform and picnic tables, Bluff Beach is the perfect spot for a day of relaxation and nature immersion.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Bluff Beach is during the warmer months, from December to February, when the beach is patrolled and the weather is perfect for swimming and picnicking. Avoid the cooler, rainy season if you prefer sunbathing and uninterrupted coastal walks.

Know before you go

  • Check the patrol schedule for safe swimming, as lifeguards are present only during the summer holidays.
  • Disabled access is available; contact the operator for specific details.
  • Remember to bring sun protection for the sunny Australian climate.
  • Utilise the picnic tables and facilities for a comfortable day out.
  • Prepare for your walk through the rainforest by wearing appropriate footwear and carrying water.
