Iluka is a small village at the mouth of the Clarence River in north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. It is situated directly across the river from the resort town of Yamba. At the 2021 census, Iluka had a population of 1,764 people.[1] The town's name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "near the sea".[2]
It has long beaches on the ocean side of the river. It is reached by turning off the Pacific Highway approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Maclean. As Iluka is a popular tourist destination its population increases slightly in the holiday season with many Gold Coasters in the summer and Victorians in the winter.
