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.

Gosford City Farmers Market

Gosford City Farmers Markets is a great place to go on a Sunday to get artisan and fresh produce by local farmers and producers, especially fruits and vegetables. 

There’s a great variety of fruits and vegetables and other delicious food: Organic sourdough bread. Fresh pasta. Eggs. Raw honey. Grass fed beef. Goat cheese and other cheeses. Olives. Homemade chutneys and relish. And more.

There's also ready-made international food: Chinese dumplings. Gozleme. Falafels. And more.

If you like fresh food that’s the place to go. There are other stalls as well that sell plants, pet items and uggboots.

Avoca Beachside Markets 

At Avoca Beachside Markets you won’t find cheap and mass-produced things. Only quality, locally-sourced and handmade items. It comes with a higher price tag, but it’s completely worth it.

120+ stalls of beautifully designed arts and crafts, jewellery, textiles. And organic and fresh produce and international food like gozleme.You find jams, honey, cheeses, bagels. Little Creek Cheese and Brooklyn Boy Bagels are some of the stalls.

The Avoca Beachside Markets’ vibe is great. The markets on the edge of the lake, there's a grassy area, live music and a little playground.

The markets are dog-friendly.

Parking at Avoca Beach is hard to find when the markets are on. Get there early, or park on The Round Drive and walk a few minutes. Or park at Avoca Beach Hotel and take one of their shuttle busses to the markets.

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.
