Gold Coast Markets

Which Gold Coast Markets Do You Want To Visit?

Carole at Gold Coast Farmers Markets
This photo is of Gold Coast farmers markets at the Turf Club in Bundall every Sunday morning.

There are many different types of markets in the Gold Coast, Art and Craft Markets, Night Markets, Farmer Markets, Kids Markets.

You'll find lots of different things including gourmet foods and local delicacies, healthy pet treats, souvenirs, local artwork, crafts and lots more! Local farmers markets are very popular and often there are some amazing gourmet treats, sweets, pre-made food, breads and dips to tantillize the taste buds.

Markets are great for both locals and visitors. They can be a great spot to pick up a rather unique Gold Coast souvenir, rather than those mass produced ones you see in the tacky souvenir shops!

Markets on the Gold Coast are quite diverse.
