Best Street Markets in Tweed Heads

"Open: every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4 pm to 9 pm. Address: The Foreshore, Surfers Paradise, QLD 4217. Historically popular with the international tourist crowd, these twilight markets at Surfers Paradise are perhaps most well known for peddling slightly kitsch souvenirs and quirky arts and crafts, but the selection has since expanded (think essential oils, candles, hand-blown glass and local products such as macadamias and honey) and worth a look."

"This market takes place under the famous Surfers Paradise sign on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights from 4pm. Stalls at the Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets are fairly touristy but they’re good for quirky souvenirs. Live entertainment and the market’s central location create a lively, upbeat vibe."

"Address: Cnr Gooding Drive & Manchester Road, Carrara, Gold Coast QLD 4211. Touted as the biggest permanent weekend marketplace in Australia, this open-air market plays host to more than 300 stalls, plus a mini-golf course, a butterfly house and a handful of cafes. It’s a particularly good spot for those travelling with kids: you’ll find buskers, pony rides, baby animal farm, bungy trampolines and face painters on the so-called ‘Family Lane’ of Carrara Markets."

"Queensland’s largest permanent market, Carrara Markets is packed with more than 400 indoor and outdoor stalls spanning hectares to shop. A treasure trove with new and second-hand goods, fashion, food, pots, plants, homewares, art, books, toys, collectables and fresh local produce, this place has it all. When you need a break from all that shopping, hit the cafés for big breakfasts, designer donuts and a caffeine fix."

"You can spend a whole day at Carrara markets with your friends or family. There are so many things to look at and to discover, a lot of fresh food and you can find almost anything you want here."

"There’s less actual playground equipment here at Justins Park than the two previous mentioned, but from a Daddy perspective this is my favourite park purely becasue of where it is. Burleigh Heads is such a great family friendly town and this park is in the heart of everything. You’ve got the basic equipment like swings, slides, and monkey bars, plus plenty of BBQ and picnic facilities, but the kicker is your smack back overlooking beautiful Burleigh Beach with views all the way to Surfers Paradise."
