Why it's worth checking out
The Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets are held on the foreshore in Surfers Paradise, right by the beach in the heart of the Gold Coast's most famous precinct. A popular and much-loved market, it's a genuine highlight of the Surfers experience — bringing together stalls of local arts, crafts, jewellery, fashion, homewares and treats in a wonderful absolute-beachfront setting under the stars.
The appeal is that combination of a great range of local and handmade stalls and an unbeatable beachfront location: browsing the market with the beach right there and the buzz of Surfers all around makes for a lovely outing, ideal for finding a unique gift, a souvenir or a treat, and soaking up the seaside atmosphere. It's a beloved part of the Surfers Paradise scene.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 5,100 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved attraction. The markets run on their regular evenings, but stalls, vendors and trading times vary — and they're weather-dependent — so it's worth checking the current details before you go, while looking forward to a browse of the stalls and the beachfront buzz at the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets.
