Airlie Beach Markets
Each
Saturday morning, stall holders set up their marquees on the foreshore
of Airlie Beach, for a colorful market and morning of free entertainment.
A large variety of market stalls, from hand made goods, crafts, fashion
wear, jewelry and fresh locally grown fruits and produce are available
for purchase and as an added attraction, you can take a fifteen minute
beach camel ride to make your day something unique.
The Airlie Beach Saturday Markets are true outdoor markets, in that
they are operated by local people and are not "stores" or
clones of cheap warehouse outlets. Most of the goods for sale are real
hand made craft items, ideal for tourist souvenirs or mementos of your
visit to Airlie Beach.
Situated right on the sandy shores of the beautiful Whitsundays, with
breathtaking views, the markets add a colorful carnival atmosphere to
the usual cosmopolitan ambiance of Airlie Beach. With buskers singing,
good food and cold drinks on offer and the tropical surroundings, Airlie
Beach Saturday Markets are a local tradition that is entertaining and
functional. A place where the visitor can grab a great bargain as a lasting
memory of their time in the beautiful Whitsundays.
One special feature of the Airlie Beach Saturday Markets is the beach
camel ride. Yes, kids absolutely love the Airlie camel ride, which is
affordably priced.
You don't have to be a kid. If you are young at heart,
why not go for a ride yourself and enjoy the sights and sounds of the
Airlie Beach Saturday Markets from the back of a camel.
Airlie Beach Saturday Markets, where bargains are waiting, if you can
stop looking at the views of the fabulous Whitsundays long enough to
see what goods are on offer.
