Airlie Beach Community Markets

Every Saturday & weather dependant

The Lions Airlie Beach Community Markets are a great place to stop by if you are looking for local produce, art, craft or locally made Whitsunday souvenirs. You can find anything from handmade jewelry to Hawaiian shirts and tie dyed clothes. They sell hand painted signs, home grown fruit and veges, potted herbs, handcrafted toys, local artwork of the Whitsundays, homemade spices, unique candy, delicious food and drink and so much more!The Airlie Beach markets are held on the foreshore between the Airlie Beach Hotel and the Whitsunday Sailing Club every Saturday morning. They start early in the morning at 7.00am and they usually finish just after lunch at 1.00pm. They also open for the Cruise Ships on the days that they are visiting town.

‍The stalls are set up in the sand along the beach, under the coconut trees and beside the water. It is such a beautiful location to wonder around with the sand between your toes, while you browse through all the local products.Be sure to check out Patrick and Sylvie’s Bowen Mango sorbet stall, where the locals have been going for years. Their mango sorbet is the best in town and they have been selling this delicious sorbet at the Whitsunday markets for over 20 years!‍

‍If you are lucky, Whitsunday Sand Art will put on a display for you to enjoy while passing through the market stalls. Adrian Connor’s famous dragon is displayed below.‍

‍When the Whitsunday Camels are in town, they also make an appearance at the Airlie Beach markets. They take the kids for a ride along the beach in front of the market stalls, with the beautiful ocean backdrop behind them.‍

‍While you are sitting down and enjoying a delicious coffee on the beach front, why not let the kids play in the massive new playground! This fully fenced playground is every child’s dream, with high sweeping slides and spiderweb ropes to navigate through. They will be entertained for hours in this playground, they may never want to leave!‍

‍Finally, what makes the Airlie Beach foreshore markets so special, is its live music. A lot of local bands get the chance to play here, to warm up and entertain the crowd while they walk around the stalls.‍

‍So if you are looking for something to do on your Saturday morning, the Airlie Beach Foreshore markets are a must. Help support the locals and go and check out what they have got to offer. See you there!‍

Nautilus on Nara - Spacious Airlie Beach Holiday Home with Ocean Views (Pets on application)
The house was comfortable and well appointed with a great entertainment deck and fantastic views. The location is a little out of the way if you don’t have a vehicle but loved the layout and views and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again! Highly recommended!

15 Kara - Stunning 5 Bedroom Home With Million Dollar Views, walk to Airlie Beach main street.
We recently stayed at 15 Kara and couldn’t have been happier. What a view ! Amazing vistas from every room - including the shower. Tons of room with large living areas, large comfy outdoor spaces and each bedroom having its own bathroom. We didn’t have a car, so used taxis almost exclusively to travel down the hill to eat/shop etc. The walk down is doable, but very steep. Don’t recommend walking back up - the taxi fares are cheap. The beautiful pool is solar heated, but not quite warm enough to swim in during winter. Great amenities. This lovely home has all the amenities you’ll need and more. Great property manager. We were very sad to leave.

Marina Waterfront Living at Port of Airlie
The boathouse apartment was located in the best place - cafes and restaurants right underneath the building as well as a short stroll to the Main Street! It was very peaceful and the view was awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a getaway to Airlie Beach

Cove 18 Luxury Whitsunday Waterfront Beach House
This was our first experience with Whitsunday Vacations - and we were completely blown away by the level of service, care and the professionalism of the reservations team. The house itself was stunning! Well presented, perfectly clean, and well stocked with all the provisions a large family need to enjoy a peaceful stay. With four bedrooms and separate bathrooms, it was like living in pure luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed our few nights overlooking that azure blue water. We will definitely be coming back and using Whitsunday Vacations to book.

Airlie Beach Marina-Front Luxury at 10 The Cove
I stayed here with my family having travelled from the UK. 10 The Cove was an absolutely beautiful house, with fantastic views and in a great location with all amenities considered and provided. We couldn’t have wanted for more and made some wonderful family memories in a beautiful home. The team at whitsunday vacations were very responsive and very helpful before and through our stay. Thank you all!
