Established in 1972, the market is fast approaching its 50th anniversary, so they must be getting something right.
The market stretches from Salamanca Place right up to Davey Street. There are buskers and entertainers. Most of the market stalls are owned by the person who made or grew the goods, so your questions will be answered and you’ll be appreciated.
And if there’s not a food stall to your liking, wander in to the courtyard behind the old buildings where you’ll find a variety of restaurants.
You could always throw a line off the dock and catch your own.

Phillip Island Extended – Tranquility shouldn’t be had in short bursts
Most visitors to the picturesque Phillip Island are day-trippers who come especially to see the penguins as they surf ashore at dusk and waddle up to their burrows with full tummies to feed their young. We made our visit a four-day trip to have a decent break, enjoy the peaceful surrounds and experience some of the gastronomical highlights of the island.
King Island, Tasmania
King Island, famous for dairy products, crayfish, high quality beef and now golf, is a gem in the middle of Bass Strait. And it has the tallest lighthouse in Australia.
