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!

The markets are normally held on the first Sunday of selected months, from 8am to 2pm.  The markets do not run in September - visit Carnival on Collins instead. Check the Palm Cove Markets Facebook page for updates and any changes.
