Shopping Shopping in the Gold Coast reflects an easy, breezy resort aesthetic - markets, outlet malls, boutiques and high end designers all cater to the local love of colour. Gidget-esque surfer girl and retro garments also hold a special place in The Goldie’s fashion heart, with endless surf and op shops stocking everything from casual t-shirts to rockabilly dresses. Given that a change is as good as a holiday, surely shopping for a change of clothes while on holiday is twice as much fun.
