Cairns Night Markets
An indoor night market beside the esplanade with a food court, souvenirs and massage stalls, a must for evening strolls.
The Cairns Night Markets lie between the Esplanade and Abbott Street and open every evening. Dozens of stalls line the walkways, selling Australian souvenirs, kangaroo leather products, opal jewellery, sun-care products and Australian specialty foods. Inside is a food court featuring mainly Asian flavours, along with several foot and neck-and-shoulder massage stalls. Prices are not cheap, but it is a good place to browse after dinner, combined with the lagoon pool and the waterfront path. Entry is free, and most stalls close between 10 and 11 p.m.
Opening hours
Daily, about 4:30–11:00 pm
