Port Douglas Sugar Wharf

The Port Douglas Sugar Wharf sits on Dixie Street in Port Douglas, the glamorous tropical-north Queensland resort town north of Cairns. A historic working wharf with a lovely waterfront setting, it's a popular spot — home to the well-known Sunday markets, along with dining and a gorgeous outlook over the water, the kind of characterful, atmospheric destination that captures Port Douglas's relaxed charm.

The appeal is that combination of a beautiful waterfront setting, the popular markets and a genuine sense of place at this historic sugar wharf, ideal for browsing the market stalls, soaking up the atmosphere, watching the boats or enjoying the water views. The heritage wharf and its lovely position make it a memorable stop while exploring Port Douglas.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 680 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The markets typically run on a set day (often Sundays), and trading days, opening hours, stalls, dining and any events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly to confirm the market day and times — then enjoying the stalls and the waterfront at the Sugar Wharf in Port Douglas.
