Fitzgerald Inlet is a secluded coastal estuary within Fitzgerald River National Park in Western Australia's Shire of Ravensthorpe. It is a saltwater feature characterized by a sandy mouth where it meets the Southern Ocean. The inlet is part of a remote coastal wilderness, accessible via the Mamang Trail which connects Point Ann to the inlet, a distance of 31 kilometers return. This trail crosses the sandy mouth of the inlet, indicating a shallow, potentially exposed bar area subject to ocean swell and tidal flow. There is a camping area at the inlet, though no water is available at this site. The park management plan notes support for the Ravensthorpe Shire in providing for boat launching, but specific launch facilities for paddlers, such as a formal boat ramp, are not detailed for the inlet itself. The Hopetoun boat ramp, a public concrete launching facility, is located in the nearby town but its direct utility for accessing Fitzgerald Inlet is not specified. Motorised access is generally restricted on tracks like the Fitzgerald Inlet track, suggesting a low-impact, semi-primitive environment. The overall paddling experience is one of isolation and natural immersion within a botanically significant national park known for rich biodiversity, wildflowers, and potential marine mammal sightings along the coastline. Paddlers must be entirely self-sufficient, carrying all water and supplies, and prepared for variable ocean conditions at the inlet mouth. The area is managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, and standard National Park fees apply.
