Broadbeach Beachfront Markets
Handmade and artisan stalls spread along the Broadbeach parkland on the first and third Sunday of the month, on the beachfront strip opposite Oasis and The Oracle.
About this market
The Broadbeach beachfront market takes the parkland between Old Burleigh Road and the sand on the first and third Sunday of each month, 8am to 2pm. It is the busiest of three beachfront markets that run down this stretch of coast, and since March 2026 all three have been operated by Goodwill Projects under the name The Coastal Markets.
Australian-made, on the grass between the road and the beach
The stall mix is handmade art and design, fashion, gifts, homewares and coastal pieces, drawn from a rotating pool of local and visiting makers so the line-up changes between dates. Live music and kids activities run alongside. The setting is the real differentiator, since the parkland sits directly opposite the Oasis and The Oracle centres with the beach on the other side, so the market slots into a Broadbeach Sunday rather than demanding a dedicated trip. Entry is free, parking is free, and dogs are welcome on a leash. The operator runs the same format at all three of its sites, so the Broadbeach dates share their stallholder pool with Coolangatta on the second Sunday and Burleigh Heads on the last, and the market trades rain, hail or shine.
Market at a glance
This market changed hands recently, which matters if you are working from an older listing.
The operator that built these markets, Art and Craft on the Coast, closed its business on 28 February 2026. Its final published dates were Broadbeach on 15 February and Burleigh Heads on 22 February, and its phone line was disconnected. The markets themselves did not stop: Goodwill Projects picked up all three beachfront sites from March 2026 and runs them as The Coastal Markets on the same days and the same hours.
Good to know before you go
Check the date before driving in, because this is a first and third Sunday market and the other Sundays belong to Coolangatta or Burleigh Heads. The 2pm close makes it one of the later-finishing Gold Coast markets, so a mid-morning arrival is comfortable. Parking is metered along Old Burleigh Road and the nearby streets, with the Oasis and The Oracle car parks as the fallback when the street bays fill. The market runs rain, hail or shine, and the operator asks visitors to check its social channels for any change to trading. This is Yugambeh country.
