Top 15 things to do in Airlie Beach

What better way to spend a leisurely Saturday morning in the tropics than casually perusing some seaside markets? Every Saturday from 7am to 1pm along the Airlie Beach foreshore, local stallholders showcase their fresh local produce, homemade treasures and clothing, unique jewellery and more. Grab a coffee, some food and some gifts and take in the community spirit and beautiful coastal scenery. There is free parking, but it fills up fast so get in early or head in on foot.

The Whitsundays is a renowned fisherman or woman’s paradise. There are plenty of spots to throw in a line yourself, or you can choose from a wide range of fishing charters and tours, all of which are bookable through the NRMA Airlie Beach Holiday Park dedicated booking office. Popular outings include half-day tours of the inner reef, full-day tours of the outer reef, and longer sporting charters, chasing prize fish like Spanish mackerel, barracuda and tuna. If luck is on your side, you can expect to bag some coral trout, snapper, golden and giant trevally, mackerel, and sweet lip. At the end of the day, there are several local restaurants that can cook up your fish for you, so you can kick back and relax.
