Why it's worth checking out
The Port Douglas Markets are held on Wharf Street in the heart of Port Douglas, the beautiful resort town north of Cairns in tropical north Queensland. A popular and much-loved market, it's a genuine highlight of the town — bringing together stalls of local produce, arts and crafts, jewellery, clothing, tropical treats and more in a lovely setting near the waterfront.
The appeal is that combination of a great range of local stalls and a gorgeous tropical setting: from fresh produce and tropical fruit to handmade crafts, art and unique gifts, there's plenty to browse and discover, all in the relaxed, holiday mood of Port Douglas. It's a wonderful way to spend a market morning, find a souvenir or local treat, and soak up the town's character.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved attraction. The markets run on their regular day, but stalls, vendors and trading hours vary with the season, so it's worth checking the current details before you go — though for a browse of local stalls and a relaxed market morning, it's a lovely way to spend some time in Port Douglas.
