10 Flea & Street Markets in Great Barrier Reef That You Shouldn't Miss

September 27, 2021 Ying Subia

The world's largest coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef stretches almost 1500 miles into the Pacific from the tip of Queensland. Designated a Marine Park by the Australian government and a World Heritage Area by UNESCO, the reef is home to an extraordinary abundance of species and habitats. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are rightly popular along the reef, nowhere more so than on the Whitsunday Islands, where the silica sands and aqua waters of the Coral Sea create the perfect beach escape.

Rusty's Market

Reviewed By mazzaintazza - London, United Kingdom

Colourful, buzzing, great range of fruit and veg, plus the odd live singer, cafe with awesome breads and cakes, and a few jewellery/craft stalls. A must do, even just to take photos. Four avocados for $2! Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.

These are the biggest and best markets by far in a Townsville. Plenty of food options with all the food trucks and amazing coffee from the Coffee dominion trailer. Plenty of arts and craft stalls, with rides for the kids. It’s a pleasant way to spend a Friday night with the family. With lots of items to purchase. Will definitely visit again.

Reviewed By croftonMelbourne - Airlie Beach, Australia

The Airlie foreshore has been fully revamped and the markets are literally next to the beach. The Lions Club does a great job in all seasons. Go to the Saturday markets when it can get very busy (and short of parking), so go early

Horseshoe Bay Markets

Reviewed By NolaC685 - Merricks North, Australia

Our first bus trip after arriving on the Island took us to Horseshoe Bay ~ disembarking just where the local market began ~ and we spent hours wandering the shaded beachfront path ~ stopping to check out wares and chat with friendly stall holders. There was a huge variety of crafts available and what was even better ~ original ideas ~ not just the ‘same ol same ol’ often seen ~ as well there was a great band entertaining everyone and Malaysian influenced take away with plenty of seating to enjoy the music and passing parade! The setting is just wonderful ~ but the market is just an added gem!

Night Markets

Reviewed By newexperiencenomad - London, United Kingdom

Looking for a pair of opal earrings we found this great little shop in the night market. The owner, Dean spent time explaining the different types of opal and materials used which explained the price differences seen around. He then was so patient helping us to find exactly what I wanted and at the right price. I’m really pleased with my purchase and recommend anyone interested to go and see the collection and talk to him.
