You can pick up all sorts of arts and crafts, food, jewellery and many wonderful handmade bits and pieces by locals. There are over 100 unique stalls at the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets so there is something for the whole family.

They are held every Wednesday, Friday & Saturday night, from 4pm to 9pm, all year round. Please visit the dedicated Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets Facebook Page for news and updates.
