Metro trading hours are from 6 am to 10 pm M-S and 8 to 8 on Sunday. Very convenient! Metro has a barista bar which is open into the afternoon after most cafes in the area have closed! Chut cafe is now open (trading starts at 5:30 am) and Super Butcher. Other shops and restaurants will be opening over the coming months.

The Gold Coast Organic Farmers Market What is it? The Gold Coast’s first organic growers market. It’s a great place to get something special and local if you plan to eat in while visiting. It’s held on the oval at Miami High every Sunday from 6am, this morning market is packed with delicious certified organic fruit and veggies. It’s ideal for locals and travellers with self-catering accommodation. It’s within walking distance although the walking gets a little tricky close to the high school. Best to keep on the west sidewalk and cross at the light in front of the school.

What is it? A morning market at Burleigh Heads State School. Why go? Talented local creatives come together on the first and third Sunday of every month to sell vintage and original designer fashion, art, homewares and handcrafted furniture. Food trucks and great live music add yet more reasons to visit. I have made many (maybe too many?) great purchases at this market.
