Supermarkets & Grocery Shopping in Broadbeach
Woolworths, Coles, and specialty food shops — where to buy groceries and supplies in Broadbeach.
Broadbeach is well-served for grocery shopping, with multiple options within easy walking distance of most accommodation. The main supermarkets are a Woolworths inside Oasis Shopping Centre and a Coles inside Pacific Fair Shopping Centre — both large, well-stocked, and open daily with extended hours. A smaller IGA operates in the Broadbeach Mall area for very central, quick-access shopping.
For visitors in self-contained apartments, grocery shopping in Broadbeach is straightforward — the Woolworths at Oasis and Coles at Pacific Fair both have excellent fresh produce sections, good delicatessen counters, and the Pacific Fair Coles has an attached specialty fresh food market area.
This guide covers every grocery and food retail option in Broadbeach so you can shop efficiently and get back to enjoying the beach.

Woolworths Broadbeach — Oasis Shopping Centre
The Woolworths inside Oasis Shopping Centre on Surf Parade is the most conveniently located major supermarket in Broadbeach — 5 minutes walk from Kurrawa Beach, 2 minutes from Oracle Boulevard, and with Oasis’s 3-hour free parking attached.
It’s a full-size Woolworths with a good fresh produce section, deli counter, bakery, and extensive grocery range. The parking advantage (3 hours free vs driving further to Pacific Fair) makes it the first choice for most visitors doing a regular grocery run during their stay.
Typical hours: 7am–9pm daily. Check the Woolworths app for exact current hours, particularly over public holidays.
Coles & Pacific Fair Fresh Food Market
Coles at Pacific Fair is a large-format store with an excellent range — comparable to Woolworths Oasis with the added advantage of Pacific Fair’s 5-hour free parking (more than enough for a big shop). The lower level of Pacific Fair houses an independently-operated Fresh Food Market with high-quality deli products, specialty cheeses, artisan bread, fresh seafood, and imported goods not available in standard supermarkets.
For visitors in self-contained apartments who want to cook properly during their stay, the combination of Coles (staples, basics) and the Pacific Fair Fresh Food Market (quality ingredients) is excellent. It’s worth visiting the fresh food market area separately from the main Coles shop.
The drive or walk to Pacific Fair is slightly longer than Oasis (10 min walk from most central Broadbeach accommodation vs 5 min for Oasis), but the parking is superior and the shopping centre experience is much larger.
Grocery Tips for Broadbeach Visitors
If you’re in a self-contained apartment, do a full grocery shop at either Woolworths Oasis or Coles Pacific Fair on the day you arrive. Stock the fridge, buy breakfast supplies, and you’ll save $40–80 per day compared to eating every meal out. Pacific Fair or Oasis carparks mean you can load shopping directly into the car.
The specialty fresh food market on the lower level of Pacific Fair stocks Queensland seafood (fresh prawns, bugs, crab), artisan cheeses, deli meats, and prepared foods. For a beachside picnic or cooking fresh QLD seafood at the apartment, this is far superior to the standard supermarket seafood counter.
If you’re not self-catering, most Broadbeach cafes sell takeaway coffee and breakfast items (pastries, sandwiches, acai bowls) at reasonable prices. Alkemist Cafe and the Oasis food court options are both good for a quick morning meal without sitting down.
Broadbeach supermarkets typically close by 9pm. For late-night grocery needs, the Woolworths Metro in Surfers Paradise operates 24 hours — 8 minutes by G:link tram or a short Uber. IGA Broadbeach often stays open slightly later than the big chains, but not 24 hours.
