Word Around Town…

"This is a well-thought-out market. Unwilling to offer anything but the very best that the local community has to offer. Each of the vendors comes with its own excellent reputation for quality and service. Fresh off the farm foods, exciting food trucks, live music, and warm and knowledgeable staff. This is truly a one-stop-shop for your daily needs!"

“Such a charming & whimsical place. A little bit of everything - farmers market, fresh seafood, food vendors, beer/wine from an old BUS... coffee, beautiful craft and furniture, Corn Hole boards are free to use and tons of nice outdoor seating. Dog/kid-friendly. Love it! So worth a stop.”

“The Salty Air Open Market is such a fun little venue. Live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. So relaxing all while children having a blast playing all sorts of outdoor games, enjoying the sunshine, and playing in the moonlight. Great food. Good conversation and ice cold beer and wine. Perfect setup. Also, pet friendly which I love, love, love. Kudos to Becky and the rest of the crew for being so welcoming to new small businesses, vendors and is always so involved in any function they have such a birthday party, benefits, and holiday parties!”

“One word to describe the Salty Air Market... AMAZING. A must stop on the coast for tourists and another reason why we locals love our home”
