Back Beach is a coastal beach located approximately 3.5 kilometers from the center of Iluka in the Clarence Valley. It is a public beach with no amenities, characterized as a wild beach with a straight shoreline stretching 2.6 kilometers and a width of 110 meters. The beach features beige sand and the sea floor is also sandy. Access to the water for paddlers is via a walking path, and the beach is located outside a settlement, suggesting a more remote feel. Parking is available, though specific details on the lot's proximity to the water are not provided, implying a carry from a parking area. The beach faces the open Coral Sea and offers no wave protection, resulting in strong waves. This indicates a launch and landing through surf, suitable only for experienced paddlers comfortable in dynamic, exposed ocean conditions. The depth increases smoothly from the shore, and the water is clear and turquoise. The beach is designated as a dog-friendly area, so paddlers may encounter dogs, though specific leash rules are not detailed for this location. Given the exposure and strong waves, paddling here is highly condition-dependent, with calmer days likely required for safe access. The area's wild character and lack of development suggest a solitary experience focused on the natural coastal environment.
