Everyone loves a market and the Port Douglas market does not disappoint!
Held on Sunday mornings in Anzac Park from 8am to 1pm, this popular market offers over 150 stalls with a variety of handmade designs, artwork and produce. You will find unique, locally designed clothes, jewellery, toys, homewares and much more. From delicious homemade cakes to beautiful woodwork, there is something for both visitors and locals alike.
The markets also offer a glimpse into life in the tropics: an opportunity to meet Far North Queensland artisans, craftspeople, designers and makers and learn more about their special place. Take the time to chat and learn about why they live where they live.
As a bonus, the markets sit alongside Dickson Inlet, the Coral Sea and St Mary’s by the Sea, offering spectacular water and mountain views.
The pace is laid-back; visitors and locals take their time to browse and chat to stall-holders. With a cool drink or treat in hand, stroll through the markets to enjoy the sights and soak up the tropics. There are plenty of choices for breakfast or brunch treats as well as that much-needed coffee.
While Port Douglas markets are the town’s flagship markets, a smaller market is usually held on Wednesdays at the Marina. If you have transport, there is also a Saturday morning country market at Mossman. Keep some space in your suitcase for that special gift or treat sourced locally at the markets!
Staying at Driftwood-Mantaray means you can stroll down to the markets at the other end of Macrossan Street. Staying in well-equipped, self-contained apartments also means that you can stock up on supplies at the markets for self-catering: tropical fruits and vegetables, artisan bread, delicious sweets, tasty smallgoods and fresh prawns.
