Inkerman Creek is a tidal coastal stream located near Port Alma, a coastal township within the Rockhampton Region of Queensland, Australia, at approximately 23°37′S 150°47′E. The creek provides access to offshore destinations and is set within a low-lying coastal environment typical of central Queensland.
The primary access point is the Inkerman Creek boat ramp on Port Alma Road, a single-lane concrete ramp that was newly constructed and opened in mid-2023 following its relocation from the Port Alma Shipping Terminal. Ample parking is available at the site, though there are currently no amenities such as toilets or fish-cleaning facilities, so paddlers should come fully self-sufficient. A 50-metre floating pontoon with a concrete deck, solar lighting, and cleats was under development as of early 2026, which may improve launching and retrieval conditions once complete.
Strong tides and currents are a significant feature of the creek and present real challenges when launching and retrieving watercraft. Paddlers should plan their trips carefully around tidal cycles, as these conditions can make entry and exit from the water genuinely hazardous. Crocodiles are known to inhabit the creek and are occasionally observed along the banks, which is a serious safety consideration for anyone paddling or entering the water. Sandflies (midges) can be particularly active in the area, so insect repellent is strongly recommended.
The creek supports a notable fishery, with barramundi, king threadfin, and javelin grunter among the species regularly caught, attracting anglers from across Australia and internationally. This fishing activity means boat traffic may be present, particularly around the boat ramp area.
