Palm Cove markets - December
The Palm Cove Markets focus on sustainable local, quality handmade products, earning it a reputation for being one of FNQ’s premier community markets.
The 130+ stalls stretch lazily along Williams Esplanade under the shade of palm & ancient paperbark trees in full view of the spectacular beach side scenery. Complimented by fantastic local restaurants & bars gives Palm Cove Markets a very relaxed FNQ vibe.
Enjoy the beautiful beach, local restaurants and over 130 stalls!
