How to Winter in the Gold Coast

A day at the Ferry Road Markets in Southport is a fun way to spend the day. Have lunch at Spendelove Bistro and bar which offers cutting edge food created by their award winning chef, Luke Turner. Afterwords do a little fresh market food shopping before you head over to Trade secret for some much deserved retail therapy. This is a bargain hunter's delight. Head to the Flea markets, Carra Markets too. Here you will be able to find some sinful snacks at the center of the market and stock up on all the flea market finds.

At sunset, on the weeknights, you may choose to dine at the Garlic Clove restaurant in Carra or head over to the Circle on Cavill for some bowling, or an interesting meal at Yuuga Japanese restaurant, where the food is to die for. The Gelati store upstairs is a perfect way to end the night with a little treat. A bowling receipt will ensure free parking here, so be sure to save it!

What could be better than a picnic in the park on a sunny winter day? Check out Budds Beach,where there are no waves in Surfers. Burleigh Heads is another alternative to think about. Here you can find a long grassy strip right next to the beach for picnicking. Surfers Rowers is a hot spot to meet up with friends for a mid-week drink or two, they offer "cheap pizza night" once weekly and stunning views of the water.

For a fried feast, go to the Pink Poodle Bar. Here you can indulge on local favorites like chips with mayo, meatballs, fried cheese balls and much more. A few Duvels to wash it all down make the perfect pair. Duvels, Pale Belgian Ale is a favorite among the locasl.

After sundown it's fun to dine under the stars al fresco. Many restaurants offer warm outdoor heaters for your comfort. You may also like to head over to Alto Cucine and Bar specializing in Mediterranean cuisine, or Sassy Dining (International), and East (Modern Asian). Another favorite activity of the locals is to people watching at the popular Lounge Bar and Restaurants Koi and Satin.
