Some may argue that you should be spending your weekends relaxing, while others prefer to socialise. Why not combine the two? The Gold Coast is a place for relaxation as well as excitement.
The coastal city has many beautiful beaches and natural attractions where you can go bushwalking and learn about the local flora and fauna. There are also theme parks and shopping malls if you want to go somewhere lively. On the other hand, you have several options if you enjoy wandering around at weekend markets.
Every weekend market on the Gold Coast is distinct. Please allow us to assist you in locating each weekend market.
