Markets on the Gold Coast

27 markets on the Gold Coast, within 30km of the centre.

Of the markets with a published schedule, 16 trade every week and 8 run monthly. Sunday is the busiest day on the Gold Coast, with 16 markets trading on at least one Sunday a month.

The Gold Coast's markets divide neatly between the beachfront and the hinterland. The beachfront markets run to art, craft and clothing and are mostly monthly, rotating between Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach and Coolangatta on different Sundays of the month. The hinterland markets are more about produce and run weekly.

The rotation is the catch

Because several of the coastal markets are the same organisation running on different Sundays in different places, it is easy to arrive at the right beach on the wrong weekend. Each listing below names the specific Sunday it runs.
