Dolphin Quay Markets, Mandurah Marina

Sitting right on the Mandurah Ocean Marina, Dolphin Quay is a relaxed, family‑friendly destination that blends market‑style shopping with waterfront dining and a fun holiday atmosphere just 40 minutes from Perth. It’s an easy place to spend a few hours with the kids, browsing for unique gifts and then enjoying a bite to eat by the water.

Inside the market and shopping precinct you’ll find a mix of specialty retailers that lean into the coastal, quirky and handmade feel Mandurah is known for. Beach lovers and home décor fans will enjoy Beachside Living, which is packed with interior decorations, accessories, wall art and more at bargain prices, perfect for giving your home a beach house makeover. Suneez n Things is your go‑to for practical bits and pieces for a day by the water, including hats, sunglasses, Ugg boots, Crocs, tree art and other fun extras – handy if you’ve forgotten something or want to refresh everyone’s sun-safe gear.

There are plenty of spots to pick up gifts and something a bit different. Tis the Season, a Christmas emporium that’s open all year round, is a treasure trove of festive decorations and novelty items and is especially magical for kids. Kingdoms Crystal Palace is a hit with older children and fantasy fans, filled with dragons, crystals and mystical‑themed gifts. The dedicated Gifts and Souvenirs store stocks Australian‑themed presents, ideal if you’re visiting from out of town or want a Mandurah or WA memento to take home.

Fashion‑wise, The Little Market Boutique offers boho and leisure clothing, great for holiday outfits or relaxed weekend wear. Botanical Impressions adds a touch of green with plants plus organic and natural products designed to benefit your wellbeing, giving the precinct a gentle, eco‑friendly feel.

Families with younger children are particularly well catered for. Jar of Wild Moments is a gorgeous children’s concept boutique with baby clothing, toys, swaddles and beautiful gift ideas for new parents and little ones. The Smallest Candy & Novelty Shop is guaranteed to be a highlight for kids, with an old‑school lolly shop vibe that will take parents straight back to their own childhoods – it’s all about riding your bike to the corner candy store, but right on the marina. There’s also TL Vinyl & Co, a small family business selling vinyl and accessories for Cricut, Silhouette and Brother Scan & Cut machines, which is perfect for crafty parents and teens who love DIY projects.

Beyond the shopping, Dolphin Quay’s biggest drawcard is its setting. The precinct sits on the picturesque Mandurah Ocean Marina, with boardwalks and views over the boats and water. After browsing the stores, you can choose from a range of cafés, taverns and restaurants dotted around the quay, many with alfresco seating and kid‑friendly menus. It’s easy to find something to suit everyone, from casual fish and chips to sit‑down meals with a glass of something cold while the kids watch for dolphins in the marina.

The location makes it simple to build a full family day out. Keith Holmes Reserve is just across the road, with plenty of lawn and BBQ facilities if you’d prefer to BYO food and let the children burn off some energy after shopping. The wider Mandurah Ocean Marina area also offers a safe swimming beach and Playgrounds, so you can add a dip or a play stop to your visit. With flat paths, pram‑friendly access and plenty of parking nearby, it’s a straightforward outing for families with babies right through to tweens.

Dolphin Quay often has a lively atmosphere on weekends and during school holidays, with entertainment, music and promotions on offer, so it’s worth checking their website or social media channels before you go to see what extra fun might be happening. Whether you’re hunting for a special gift, refreshing your beach wardrobe, treating the kids to lollies and novelties or simply soaking up the marina views over lunch, Dolphin Quay Markets at Mandurah Marina makes for a relaxed, easy family day by the water.
