Need to get the kids out of the house these school holidays? We don't blame you!

Bring the kids down to burn off some energy at Surfers Paradise beach and then hop, skip, and jump up to the markets for round two of the fun 🥳

Stop in and let them live out their mermaid dreams with colourful braided hair, pick out some magic tricks to keep them entertained for hours when you get home, grab a pic of them holding a snake for show and tell back at school, or hunt for handmade treasures they’ll rave about all week.

Meanwhile, you can grab a coffee, sneak a treat, and enjoy a moment of peace while they’re happily distracted 🍪☺️

✨ We're open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4pm - 9pm ✨

Not going to lie... we're a little (ok ALOT) obsessed with Crumbs Cookies down at Surfers Paradise Markets 🍪

We even took a few home because we couldn't decide which flavour to get (yes! they are THAT good).

P.S The Bueno Kinder is our favourite 🙋‍♀️

If you haven't tried them yet, we HIGHLY recommend you come down and get your hands on one 🤤 You won't be disappointed.

As the sun sets, stroll along the foreshore with the sea breeze in your hair, a treat in hand, and explore stalls filled with handmade finds and artisan creations. Take your time, savour the evening, and soak up the relaxed summer vibe 🌞

Did you know that spending time by the ocean can improve your mood by up to 83.3%? 🌊🏖

And browsing markets boosts your chance of finding something you didn’t know you needed by 99%?

Okay, we just made those stats up… but honestly, if someone did a study, we’re pretty sure they’d agree 💁‍♀️

Think about it - the sea breeze on your face, the warm sun on your skin, and vibrant stalls filled with treasures waiting to be discovered. It’s the best prescription for happiness 😄🥰

So, what do you say - ready to put our theory to the test? Come down tonight and report back 👇🏼 to let us know if we’re right.

The beach is calling… and so are the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets! 🌊

Spend your day basking in the Queensland summer sun ☀, feeling the sand between your toes 🏖, and when 4pm rolls around, step up to the foreshore and wander through a bustling mix of eclectic stalls and one-of-a-kind finds 🛍

Sun, sea, and shopping - what more could you ask for on a Friday night?

Happy New Year, folks! 🎉

They say you should start your year the way you want the rest of it to go… and what better way than a chilled night at the markets by the foreshore tonight? 🏖✨ Good company, a light breeze, and browsing through handmade treasures - it’s basically a recipe for a perfect year ahead 🥰

We’re open EVERY Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4PM – 9PM.

The best place to be on a warm Saturday night is down by the water, sipping on an ice cold Raw Sugarcane Juice while strolling through the markets with your favourite people ✨🏖

It really doesn’t get any better than that. Unless you pick up some delicious treats from Golden Turkish Sweets for the trip home… then it really is the best kind of night.

💫 Today is our last market for 2024, so we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s made this year so special. To our amazing vendors who bring their passion and creativity every week, our talented entertainers who keep the energy alive, and every single one of you who has visited, supported, and shared in the market magic…thank you! 🙏

You’ve helped make Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets the special place it is, and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2025 💫

Are you still coming down from your post Christmas hangover? 🎅🏽🎁

Skip the couch, grab the kids (or not), and head down to the Surfers Paradise esplanade from 4PM - 9PM where the vibe is buzzing ☀ Think sunset views, tasty treats and plenty to keep everyone happy.

Bringing the kids? Swing by beachside_braids for some colourful, summery braids - we guarantee it’ll buy you at least ten minutes of peace while they sit mesmerised 🧜‍♀️

Or maybe it’s date night? Do yourselves a favour and pick up a 6-pack of fluffy, sugary goodness from OMG Decadent Donuts Gold Coast to share while you watch the tide roll in (romance isn’t dead, it’s just glazed) 🥯🍩

Now that’s a Friday night done right 🌅

Our markets are taking a little holiday tomorrow for Christmas Day 🎅🍰 to spend time with family, friends, and way too much pavlova (if that’s even a thing!)

From all of us here at Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope the big man in red delivers everything on your wish list.

Your favourite market magic will return Friday, 27 December, and we’ll be back to our regular hours - Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4pm to 9pm - to bring you all the goodies you need for the New Year and beyond.

Have a holly jolly one tomorrow🎄✨

Christmas is almost here, bringing good cheer to young and old, meek and bold 🎶

Tonight is our final market before Christmas, so pop down and grab those last-minute stocking stuffers... because let’s face it, Santa could use a little help.

✨ Check out Willow and Co Fragrances for delectable hand-poured soy candles and diffusers.

👕 Try on the comfiest tee you’ll ever own from Good Intentions Co.

🌶️ And don’t leave without a bottle (or three) of Grumpy Gary’s award-winning, natural, handcrafted sauces (spoiler: he’s not actually grumpy).

All perfect for even the “I don’t need anything” folks who act like they’re impossible to shop for.

📣 Please note: Our next market will be on Friday, 27 December 4PM - 9PM as we will be closed on Christmas Day 📣

Alright, who’s been doing the rain dance?! 🌧️

Sadly, the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets won’t be opening today, Wednesday, 18th December, due to the torrential downpour.

We’re really sorry for the inconvenience, but keeping everyone safe and dry is our top priority.

Fingers crossed for sunshine—we’ll see you this Friday and Saturday for some drier, happier market vibes! ☀

EDIT: Unfortunately today's markets have been cancelled due to the rain.

Still haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet? 🫣🎁

Shopping centres are a battlefield right now - crowds, car park chaos, and checkout lines that test everyone’s festive spirit. Why put yourself through it?

Instead, why not stroll along the foreshore, 🏖 breeze in your hair, and a fresh juice 🥤 in hand while ticking off your gift list?

ParadisePearls has stunning pearl jewellery that’s guaranteed to win Christmas morning (and maybe a few tears of joy). And don’t forget to stop by Kids at the Coast for the cutest kids and baby clothes to make sure your little one steals the show on Christmas Day.

Skip the stress, find something special, and turn Chrissie shopping into a fun night out ☀🎉

We may be closed today due to rain but we are open every Wed, Fri and Sat throughout the holidays except for Christmas Day!
