About
The Remarkable Sweet Shop on Beach Street is Queenstown's go-to destination for confectionery, chocolate, and candy gifts, sitting right in the heart of town with Lake Wakatipu practically at its doorstep. The shop takes its name from the jagged peaks of The Remarkables that frame the skyline across the water, and the range inside lives up to that billing — walls of sweets, locally made chocolates, novelty candy, and gift-ready packaging that makes it easy to walk out with something memorable. Whether you are browsing after a lakefront stroll or hunting for a souvenir that travels better than a snow globe, this is a reliable stop with real variety.
With a 4.6-star rating across more than 400 reviews, the shop has clearly earned its reputation with visitors and locals alike. It functions equally well as a treat-yourself moment mid-day or a last-minute gift solution before heading back to Frankton, Arrowtown, or the airport. The candy store format means there is something for every age and budget, from single-serve picks to boxed selections worth posting home. For anyone who has spent a big day on the slopes at Coronet Peak or out on the Shotover River and wants something sweet to round it off, Beach Street is an easy detour that consistently delivers.
