Bluff Beach (NSW 39) curves from Frazer Reef for 1.2 km south to the prominent 30 m high Iluka Bluff. This is the most popular surfing beach of the five, owing to the reasonable access from the car park located at both ends, and the moderate waves which produce a single attached bar. Wave energy is highest in the centre of the beach where it can produce good surf and two to three strong rips cutting the bar. Towards each end, and particularly to the south, the reefs reduce the waves to form a continuous bar with no rips and less hazardous swimming conditions. The southern end has a large car park and is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer holidays. The car park also leads to a access track to 30 m high Iluka Bluff which has viewing platforms.
Beach Length: 1.2km
