Jerona, The Esplanade

The Barratta Creek Boat Ramp, located on The Esplanade in Jerona, Queensland, is a two-lane concrete ramp providing access to Barratta Creek. A central pontoon assists with tying up, though the ramp becomes difficult to use at around a 0.

5-metre tide, with trailer wheels potentially dropping off the edge. The access road is heavily corrugated, and the creek itself is relatively narrow, requiring care during launching.

The surrounding environment of mangroves and winding waterways suits fishing, walking unsealed tracks, and birdwatching. Camping at the ramp is permitted, though no facilities are provided.

Visitors should be aware that the creek has experienced significant silting over time, which has affected usability. Insect repellent is strongly advisable due to midges, and estuarine crocodiles are present in the area.
