St Inez Creek in Panjim, is located in the state of Goa. The Mandovi River empties its waters into the creek. The creek is 3.7 kilometres (2 mi) in length and has a surface area of 65,750 square metres (707,700 sq ft). The average width of the creek is 12.6 metres (41 ft).
The creek extends across the paddy fields at Altinho hill at Taleigao, Caranzalem, and the Nagahali hills of Dona Paula. According to a Portuguese plaque on one of the culverts, the creek was constructed in 1829, although astronomer Percival Noronha claimed it to be constructed in 1647. Sir Creek has 12 culverts, originating from the old Goa Medical College complex and thus leading to the Fire Brigade, the Campal head, the Tambdi Mati Cumrabhat, the sewerage treatment plant at Tonca and the El Passo hotel.
