Enjoy the street food at Miami Marketta
On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, the Miami Marketta comes alive.
The original street food market on the Gold Coast, the Marketta has seating for up to 500 people and has enough vendors for you to eat to your heart’s content.
If global street food isn’t enough to lure you in, there’s also live music to round out this laneway dining experience.
In addition to the free-entry food markets, Miami Marketta hosts plenty of ticketed events, such as live shows by local and international musicians, comedy shows, and themed nights.
Swim and surf at Miami Beach
Miami Beach has got long stretches of white sand, a wide shoreline, and gentle waves, perfect for swimmers and beginner surfers. This beach is patrolled all year-round and is often quieter than its neighbouring beaches.
Picnic at Mick Schamburg Park
For panoramic views of the Gold Coast, head up to Mick Schamburg Park. Perched atop Miami Headland, it’s the perfect spot for picnics or casual strolls.
