The Public Market is known by many as a great place to shop for fresh seafood and vegetables, bakery goods and an assortment of beautiful flowers. Once a warehouse, it was converted into a public market place where people come every weekend to buy goods. There is a food court that sells a variety of ethnic food which are reasonably priced. You can sit under the pine wood beams in the court or take eat outside on the pier as you take in the sea view.

Thinking of fresh lobsters or oysters? The Lobster Man at the Maritime Market has a selection of lobster on display for you to choose from. They also sell other seafood varieties that are cheaper than most places. The staff are friendly and will help you choose your very own lobster at an affordable price.

If you have children with you or you're a kid at heart, then the Kids Only Market is the best place visit. Located in a refurbished two-storey building at the entrance to Granville Island, it is jam-packed with over 24 colorful stores as well as a lunch spot geared to those under 14 years old.
