Moooloolaba Esplanade shopping
Sparkle, sparkle
After an ocean swim, brekkie and a coffee at the Colombian Coffee Co – we told you we know how to live here on the Sunshine Coast! - start your shopping spree at the Esplanade, which is lined with inspiring boutiques.
As you soak up the ocean views, spoil yourself with something special from Avenue J, a jewellery destination loved by locals and tourists alike.
Locally owned and operated, Avenue J specialises in rare and one-off pieces from the Georgian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Art Deco periods which have been sourced from all over the globe.
Afterwards, celebrate your new sparkles with a glass of bubbles at the Surf Club Mooloolaba.
Picture that
What better way to remember your Sunshine Coast holiday than taking a piece of paradise home with you?
Stop by the Mark Gray Gallery Mooloolaba at the north west end of the Esplanade to browse some seriously stunning landscape photography. This award-winning collection has a range of local, national and international photography for you to peruse – and trust us – you’ll be blown away.
Sundaze
Life really is a beach here on the Sunshine Coast. So, slow down, ditch the heels and city threads and shop the best edit of swimwear, beachwear, shoes and accessories at Sundaze on the Esplanade.
This much-loved family owned and operated boutique stocks labels such as bond-eye swim, Tigerlily, Rhythm, Seafolly and Jets as well as offering that famous - and warm - Sunshine Coast service. Trust us, you’ll be looking and feeling like a relaxed local in no time.
The icon
Don’t leave town without a retail fix at chic Sunshine Coast boutique, Zambezee.
Located in the Syrenuse Building on the Mooloolaba Esplanade, this iconic retail destination was founded by mother and daughter duo, Lorelei Bedford and Natalie Hanley, back in 1997.
Offering a slick edit of labels such as We Are Kindred, Trelise Cooper, Camilla, Johnny Was and Joseph Ribkoff, it’s almost impossible to leave this store empty handed. Now you’re dressed to impress, hit up Pavilion Mooloolaba for a cheeky cocktail – or two – and soak in those glorious ocean views.
Dress to impress
We are all about the playful, relaxed and fun vibes here in our salty, sandy and sunny slice of paradise and Ark & Arrow boutique delivers on all fronts.
Tucked away in the Mantra Sirocco Mooloolaba, this Esplanade boutique is a hot spot for style queens – for good reason. Whether you’re after a party dress, easy breezy playsuit, accessories or unique pieces of jewellery, you’ll find it here.
You’re welcome!
