I last visited St Kilda's Market about 20 years ago and it has changed much. I really liked it then, it was less crowded and less commercial. Today it very much packed and prices have soared for the items on sale, including food and beverages. Taking a walk to the pier was time better spent.

One of the highlights while visiting St. Kilda beach front. Many art and crafts stalls, as well as food stalls, operate on Sunday from 10 am. I found 2 interesting stalls selling fresh sugar cane drinks and Harley Davidson trike tours.

Though the market has some interesting items overall its a bunch of overpriced artisan goods. Yes I can see how could be good for tourists but just leaves me a little bit cold, maybe i'm misremembering but don't think it was always like this and such a shame to see so many empty stall spaces.

One the most beatifull market beside st Kilda beach where you cand find a lot of arts anf traditional artifacts and I also liked the delicious patisseries there

Nice way to spend a couple of hours. It's a long market near the beach where you can find any sorts of gift and jewellery

Beautiful walk along the espy and the artisian market is great. It's not a huge market, but well worth the experience. Then you can go down the beach front, look at the boat's or have a coffee.

worth for a walk, with a wide variety of stalls

Nice weekend market at the esplanade quite near the sea. Lots of stuff to buy and eat. Highly recommended

Large variety of quality crafts. I purchased a leather satchel from Suzie Q stall and after using it daily a slight tear appeared. I went to the stall and was pleasantly surprised Suzanne was still going strong and she agreed to repair it for me. Her sun hats were beautiful and I bought one as well. Great service.

I purchased three pairs of lovely glass earrings with stainless steel posts plus 2 stacking rings. Very happy with my purchases.

EDIT: More stalls open as weather improves. Go on Sundays. Opens 10am. Only half open probably due to Covid-19. Day was pleasant. Plenty jewellery stalls.

nice market, unfortunately one store I was looking for is not here but it okay. nice stroll through each market on a warm day and definitely worth looking at.

Nice and spacious area nearby the shore. Not crowded. Good to look at variety of items, limited food choices. Probably about 40 vendors when I visited

Beautiful market, handmade fresh and natural. Fantastic Melbourne market, open more days than others 👌

Was there for the festival and it was a great place to walk around. Busy and festive. Nice vibe. A lovely location close to the beach.

This is a nice market at a great location and with plenty of handmade crafts and products, a few food trucks are also available and we tried the Chef Calamari which was nice. Probably not big enough as a destination market, but certainly worth visiting if you are coming to St Kilda beach on a Sunday.

It's difficult to give this less or more than 3 stars.. If I had written this review a few years ago, I would say it needed 12 stars. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of great little stalls, and even if you don't plan on buying anything, it's still nice to look on your walk past on a Sunday. Some stalls are quite decently priced, others think they have a one of a kind lottery to sell.

A great set of stalls. If you are in the area for the day it's a good little walk with over 30+ stalls. I wouldn't travel too far just to attend the market by its self

First visit after a few years, a lot smaller than it used to be. Might have been just a bad day. Still some cool stalls. Lots of jewellery.

Always a good day out. Heaps of variety as far as stalls go, great food and drink as well as awesome people. Do yourself a favor and visit at least once and I'll wager 1 you won't be sorry you did and 2 you'll be back

Very fun to walk along the side walk of local vendor's selling their art's and crafts; ceramics, photography, clothing, jewelry, food items, original pieces of art and food trucks. Can be busy so take your time and use public transportation if an option as there is other venues close by, besides the beach and pier.

Situated along the St Kilda esplanade this was a great way to spend a Sunday. The weather was great and the markets offered a large and varied selection of stalls.

It's Lively and colourful

Nice to walk along. Maybe some Day I will actually find something I really like and buy it

It's not bad. Just a tourist market. Was expecting more I guess

Great market right on the esplanade. Lots of arts, crafts, home made jewellery. Not many stalls today but will probably be more crowded and busy when summer starts.

Good little market heaps of stuff to look at worth a visit...plus st kilda has lots to see also..

We went on the St Kilda festival day. So welk organised, something for everyone, market stalks, food stalls, music, toilet and drink stations. Super impressed to go to such a great event

Ripper of a place, amazing views, top location. Such a great variety of locally made crafts and food!

Great market all the time

nice

Lovely atmosphere and friendly people. Enjoy coming here every now and then, great spot for tourists.

A bit quiet

Nice

Loved St Kilda Esplanard market

It’s great to buy from locals. I highly recommend to go for a visit and buy at least a homemade soap or nice candle.

Always good for a cheekie browse.

Great market... take the team out of the city

Great street market. Good variety

(Translated by Google) Interesting local products, they have beautiful pictures (Original) Interesantes productos locales, tienen fotografías hermosas

Fresh ocean smell

Busy busy...always happeninh

(Translated by Google) Wonderful! (Original) Maravilhoso!

Old Stkilda let's keep it that way.

Market place

Good for alook

Disappointing selection of stalls. Tasty vegan ice cream though!

Clean and good for browsing

It's ok.

(Translated by Google) Lots of shops for tourists, it's nice to see but it's not the best part of St Kilda (Original) Beaucoup de shop pour les touristes, c'est sympa à voir mais c'est pas la meilleure partie de St Kilda

Too crowded. Not as many stalls as expected.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach sunshine (Original) 아름다운 비치 햇살

Stalls along the road with some interesting things, but nothing you would actually buy.

A nice relaxing day out.

Greae venue

Great outdoor market in a fabulous location

This is a good place to come and visit and walk along the beach and relax

It's so nice to watch and shop authentic things

Very touristy style markets. Quality products but bit over priced for the local consumer imo

Great market to walk around. Recommend for a visit, as it can be more of a tourist market.

A nice place to wander with good stalls to buy from.

Relaxed and pleasant atmosphere with beautiful St Kilda Beach as the background. Sneak away for a bite to eat on Ackland St afterwards. 😉

Friendly small businesses. Excellent Sunday walk.

An enjoyable place to go, many interesting stuffs everywhere 🧮 Visit here on Sunday.

great

A good place to visit in a sunny Sunday morning. A few food stalls and very artsy earings and clothes

Same stuff as 40 years ago

Boring, not many stalls

Some great regular sellers. Can sometimes be a bit sparse. Mostly good for gifts but sometimes there's a pop-up vegan market, some good ethical cosmetics.

Not much there on our visit today, maybe weather. Stall holders lovely. Clean. Great coffee

Great day out

Great place

What a great maker market for unique arts, crafts and gifts! A must to check out

Got really got things

Loved it

(Translated by Google) A very popular place, many beautiful people around. My friend and I ordered a salad. Fine. Liked. (Original) Очень популярное место, много красивых людей вокруг. Мы с другом заказали салат. Нормально. Понравилось.

Always good 😁

Busy but good

Great market on Sunday mornings nice place for a stroll with fantastic views

This place is like a jewel in the rough. Visit the Woodooldoo store for fantastically created items, and also check out the guy who creates stuff out of thin metal wires, he is an amazing, humble creator.

Great market... great atmosphere. Heaps of stalls and goodies to choose from

Alway great to revisit as a local

Graceful and lovely place

Great place to take a walk!

Beautiful day and friendly stall holders came here as part of the #midsumma march

Beautiful weather today, Melbourne sun shining with a slight chill in the air. A few stalls missing from the market, but what was there was definitely worth looking at. I love this market, it's well worth a visit.

Great spot to appreciate the night sky, incoming weather or lack there of and city lights over water. You must'nt mind plenty of public intoxication as it's quote prevalent here. Most people keep to themselves though and hasn't caused me any issue.

I've always loved this market.. with all of the beautiful hand crafted items up for sale. I'd say that you could find a gift here for just about anyone! Great atmosphere. Well worth the look! The food van at the Fitzroy st end of the market has the most delicious FRESH CALAMARI .. Cooked to perfection & the prawns were magnificent!! Big serves, freshly cooked, friendly faces and the prices are very reasonable.

OMG coffee donut and pretty fine coffee truck latte meant a pleasant morning wander. Diverse stalls, though not the market for clothing or bric a brac

My all day breakfast was huge and delicious. The outlook was so pretty. Great vibe and energy.

It was a cool wet day, so not many stores were there. Did enjoy the stalls that were there on the day though👍🏼

Great setting over looking st kilda esplanade and beach. Right next door to Luna Park. Plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from. But the Dutch donuts were yummy. Unusual and interesting hand made jewellery on offer too

Website says 140+ stalls and made out like it was big and awesome but there was probably 15 little stalls and half of them were for pets/dog clothing

The number of shops were less this week, most probably due to weather otherwise my fav weekend market for local talent

Will get better in the coming months. Bought some lovely local candles though.

Lovely little Sunday market offering a whole range of tasty treats and homely gifts. Bustling atmosphere We treated ourselves to some Dutch pancakes with Nutella and sugar icing from Naval’s, before wondering past all the gift stalls and eyeing up some items for our new flat! Would recommend a visit here and then a wonder down to the beach.

Beautiful day,was a bit tired but nothing like a sea breeze into my lungs 🫁. That night l sleeped really well.

Flea market with 1 stretch of stalls, with mixture of handicrafts and some food. It will not take very long to walk through the market but there are many things nearby - St Kilda beach, Luna Park, and many restaurants just 10 mins walk below. I would recommend visiting this area.

Great market. Different stalls than the usual that you see. Friendly stall holders as well.

Very repetitive with stalls, definitely not easy to navigate around with that many people crammed onto the footpath trying to look at the stalls. Definitely not disability friendly.

Used to be very good but since covid, has not come back as well as the past with a lot less stalls. Still a good variety though and worth a visit and a walk. A lot of handmade goods and souvenirs. Be careful with parking since parking inspectors abound. An easy walk to Fitzroy St or Acland St and Luna Park too

It's sunday market, you can find accessories, art, and some light snacks like pancake, donuts, coffee

Worth a visit if you are in the area, but not worth to come just for the market.

Very Melbourne, a good selection of handmade crafts and gifts. Great for presents, especially at Christmas, if you want something different from the usual High Street staples. I buy for overseas family to send something unique. 👍🏻

Always lovely to stroll along the esplanade with the beautiful views a delicious pastry and coffee/juice and check out all the work the amazingly talented makers have to offer. Beware, some stall holders do not allow photography - they have no problem telling you off too!

The market is not as bustling as it once was, perhaps it is still playing catch-up after COVID? White Rose food truck was 10/10 - Roast beef dinner, wrapped up in a Yorkie, smothered in proper gravy for $15

Market adjacent to the beach with the usual market fare: candles, pet outfits, decorations, clothes, food trucks (pizza, boba, souvlaki, ice cream, chips). It's not very big, but it was nice to browse on the way to the beach.

Clean, breezy/airy esplanade to spend time watching the sea, chatting with local small producers during the Sunday morning market and simply appreciating small things that can only be enjoyed when free time is valued as such...

Lovely walk along the water front, could be very busy I would say in peak times
