Harbour Town Shopping - Outlet and Discount Shopping on the Gold Coast

Harbour Town is probably one of the most famous or recognised discount shopping area on the Gold Coast.

Whilst it is certainly the largest with many big brand national and international names represented here it is by no means the only place for bargain shopping on the Gold Coast.

Quick Links To Gold Coast Discount Shopping Options

Discount Shopping Gold Coast Guide

Here is a guide to discount shopping on the Gold Coast.  There are some great bargains to be had if you know where to go.  

The top pick for discount shopping is Gold Coast icon Harbour Town. Everything in the one spot! Even a non-shopper, like me, enjoys Harbour Town!

Discount Shopping Gold Coast Tours

If you like shopping then a sightseeing tour with a few shopping stops could be a good way to see the Gold Coast and shop! Pick ups around 10.45am and finishing by around 4.30pm that is a whole lot of Gold Coast sightseeing and shopping.

You'll get to check out sights such as Burleigh Beach, Conrad Jupiters Hotel and Casino, the Gold Coast Exhibition Centre, 6* luxury hotel Palazzo Versace and our tallest building Q1. As for the shopping, check out Pacific Fair, Marina Mirage and then finish off with time for shopping at Harbour Town Discount Outlet Shopping Centre.

The tour is very reasonably priced and there are options for family tickets. Food and beverages are NOT included and you have to do the shopping and pay for everything else!

Gold Coast Sightseeing and Shopping Tour can be booked directly online.

Harbour Town The Discount Shopping Gold Coast Icon

Trade Secret

Located in the Brickworks Centre in Southport this is a little gem.  They have great clothing and other bargains.  Whenever I go in there I am always blown away by what they have and the prices.  

Trade Secret is a big brand name outlet where you can save heaps of money.  They say you can save up to 60% off RRP

Their slogan is Big brands, cheeky prices!

I don't like tacky outlet stores with sorry looking merchandise.  And this store is not at all tacky - it is just like your everyday store - except the prices are very low.  I know many rather well heeled locals

They sell:

  • Homewares
  • Kids
  • Ladies Fashion Brands
  • Lingerie
  • Mens
  • Surf brands
  • Youth Fashion

Trade Secret at Southport is open 7 days a week.  Monday to Fridays 9am to 5.30pm with late night trading Thursday till 8pm.  Saturdays 8.30am to 5pm. Sundays and Public Holidays 10am till 4.30pm.

And you don't have to just bring cash. They accept most major credit cards!

The location is great because when you have picked up your bargains you can head to the opposite end of the carpark and Ferry Road markets.

Ferry Road Markets are completely the opposite! Let me assure you there is nothing discount here!  Expect to find fabulous gourmet cafes, sweet treats, deli, excellent coffees, juices and ice creams plus other gourmet foods.

Billabong Factory Outlet at Central Park, Ashmore

Billabong Factory outlet at Central Park Plaza Ashmore

Billabong seconds shop and factory shop for all your Billabong stuff - great prices and bargains to be had.

There are two Billabong shops in this complex, both are worth a look and there are other discount stores in the same precinct called Central Park Outlet Shops. Worth a trip.

Central Park Plaza is a little gem in amongst the semi-industrial areas of Ashmore. Central Park Plaza is off Nerang-Southport Road just before you get to Nerang.

Rivers Clearance Store

A few years ago there was a huge Rivers clearance shop in Harbour Town but this has now gone.  

There are two Rivers Clearance stores located in the Gold Coast one in Robina at the Robina Super Centre (not Robina Town Centre) and the other one on Scarborough Street, Southport just outside Australia Fair.

Rivers often have great bargains.

Sporty's Warehouse

Sporty's is made up of several stores in one. Great sport clothing, footwear, camping, exercise equipment, golf, tennis, camping and sports nutrition.
