Description
Iluka Foreshore Reserve is a narrow strip of coastal bushland located south of Burns Beach to the Ocean Reef marina, 25 km northwest of Perth. The scenery is spectacular with rugged limestone cliffs, consolidated limestone dunes and high quality coastal vegetation. Looking out to sea is the Marmion Marine Park, an area with very high conservation value.
The Joondalup coast consists of dune limestone, in patches overlain by low sand dune ridges known as the Quindalup dune system. The plants in this area are usually found in a sequence, from beach foredune landward.
The vegetation provides a wonderful habitat for heath loving birds. In particular, this place is probably the most reliable in Perth's metropolitan area for White-winged Fairywren. Also often seen are Nankeen Kestrel and Osprey.
