Central Coast Markets

We all like a good market.

There are several markets on the NSW Central Coast, but below you’ll find the locals’ favourites.

The markets range from bric-a-brac to hand-sourced quality products. You’ll find fresh produce, art and craft, home-made food, jewellery and more.

Ettalong Markets

The eclectic Ettalong Markets offer items of varying quality, from bric-a-brac and knick-knacks to watercolour paintings, beachy home decor, and beautiful pots and plants.

The markets are located at the Galleria. The Mediterranean decor is striking: stone and polished wood floors, brick and stone walls, statues, murals and stunning stained glass windows.

These markets are certainly unique.

My favourite thing about the markets is the delicious eateries like Taste of France, Lavash, Palaĉinki Cafe and Vegalicious. Make sure you’re hungry before you go there.
