Currimundi Creek is a vibrant tidal estuary and lake system located on the Sunshine Coast, near Caloundra. This coastal waterway is characterized by its connection to the ocean, creating a dynamic environment of brackish water, sand flats, and mangrove-lined banks that support a diverse inshore fishery. The system includes the main creek, its north and south arms, and Currimundi Lake itself, offering a mix of sheltered waters and open lake environments accessible by both boat and shore.

Key land-based locations include the structures of the Currimundi bridges, which are known hotspots for mangrove jack. Rocky areas near the ocean entrance provide shelter for jewfish in winter.
