Looking for the best sex shops in Goldie?
Adult stores on the Coast are spread far and wide, often forming convenient little clusters. Predictably, Surfers Paradise remains the novelty hotspot, home to the famous Condom Kingdom, while the north around Biggera Waters/Labrador has become an adult shopping district of its own – with stores from Playhouse and Tuppys both based along the Brisbane Road.
Our Gold Coast Sex Shop guide takes you on a tour of the region’s finest adult boutiques and megastores. Want to get your kinky shopping on? Start here…
A List of Popular Sex Shops In Gold Coast
Like other major cities, the adult retail scene in Gold Coast is an increasingly balanced mix of old-school sleaze dens… and modern boutiques promoting sex-positivity and ethical manufacturing.
We also have a couple of destinations known as cruising hot spots.
Here’s a rundown of the most famous adult stores in GC…
Condom Kingdom
3222 Surfers Paradise Blvd, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217
We start with one of the Gold Coast’s most visible sex shops. A true icon of Surfers Paradise, Condom Kingdom is part adult store, part tourist attraction.
From the moment you step under its flamboyant neon facade, you’re hit with a vibrant, eclectic paradise of dirty souvenirs. This is definitely more of a ‘spontaneous buy‘ kinda sex shop (rather than a place to scout world-famous brands!), but the extensive range of condoms available is… mindblowing.
And kinda hilarious.
They have tons of different flavours, textures and sizes available. The store also sells a large range of novelty and gift items to cash in on the Surfers footfall.
This is a fun store, and unlike most adult retailers, pretty damn easy to spot.
Open daily, 9am to 10pm.
Club X
Shop 7/131 Old Pacific Hwy, Oxenford QLD 4210
3/39 Lawrence Dr, Carrara QLD 4211
A giant of the Aussie adult retail sector, Club X stocks pretty much everything you can think of in the way of sex toys. They don’t cater for hardcore fetishists, but do stock a reasonable range of BDSM equipment (and some fetish gear).
From books and DVDs to pumps, cloning kits and dolls… most of you will find something to fulfil your needs at Club X.
On the GC, Club X operates two main locations: one up north in Oxenford (Old Pacific Hwy) and one more central at Carrara (Lawrence Dr). The Carrara store is particularly large and even plays host to an on-site “Movie Preview Lounge”… yes, a private porn cinema area where you can watch adult films. It can get pretty sticky in there – and you may bump into some interesting characters at certain hours.
If it’s sheer volume of sex toys and bedroom accessories you’re looking for, Club X is up there with the best. It has all the major categories covered.
Tuppys
57, Shop 3/59 Brisbane Rd, Biggera Waters QLD 4216
Up on the northern end of the Gold Coast, Tuppys offers both a boutique adult shopping experience, as well as a rapid 2-hour delivery service for local customers.
They have an eclectic mix of products with regular sales and themed discounting. For example, it’s currently August, and they are offering Anal August specials with a mix of Renegade butt plugs, Dorcel Twist toys and an OUCH! Glow on the Dark Prostate Kit!
Their website showcases some interesting bestsellers – including bound nipple clamps, ‘sex and mischief’ pearl necklace ties and several *alleged* performance-enhancing male supplements.
Open daily, 10am to 10pm.
The Den Adult Concepts
4/2557 Gold Coast Hwy, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218
This small adult shop hides a big surprise in the rear. Up front, The Den offers a solid range of quality adult products… toys, lubes, DVDs, lingerie, and gay interest items – most at competitive prices.
But step into the Den’s lair and you’ll find one of the Gold Coast’s few remaining gay men’s cruise club areas… complete with a men’s only cinema and private play space.
Inside the dimly lit back section, you’ll find private booths, a “men’s only” mini-cinema continuously looping porn on multiple screens, and even a sling room for the adventurous revellers. It costs $15 (paid at the back counter) to get in. Condoms, lube, towels and tissues are waiting on the shelf, so we’re guessing this little den has seen plenty of no-strings action over the years.
Playhouse Adult Store
339 Reedy Creek Rd, Burleigh Waters QLD 4220
http://www.playhouseadultstores.com.au/
Winner of a Best Adult Retail Store Award, Playhouse Adult Store is the largest sex shop in Queensland.
Housed in a large warehouse-style building in Burleigh, Playhouse is all about scale and variety. Walk in and you’ll be greeted by aisles upon aisles of kinky merchandise: it’s a mega adult emporium spanning everything from high-end vibrators and bulk bondage gear to a dedicated lingerie paradise and even naughty costumes/dress-up.
The company boasts it is female and couple friendly, and indeed the store layout reflects that. It’s certainly NOT a dingy man-cave.
Supplying DVDs, lingerie, and novelty toys as well as leather goods, adult toys and marital aids – the shop is predictably well stocked for such a large venue. Overall, we’d say it’s mainly catering for the mainstream: a fun, discreet and friendly option in GC.
You’ll also find a selection of bucks and hen party supplies and gifts inside.
Open daily, 9am to 11pm.
L’Amour Lingerie & Adult Products
3/175 Currumburra Rd, Ashmore QLD 4214
For a more boutique and personalized experience, L’Amour Lingerie & Adult Shop is a nice little hidden gem in Ashmore. It’s a family owned and operated store that has been doing very well for a number of years now.
L’Amour places a big emphasis on lingerie – you’ve got elegant satin corsets, lacy teddies, and racks of costumes from naughty nurse to burlesque diva. In fact, lingerie, menswear, and dress-up outfits are front and center here, making it a go-to for couples shopping (for that special anniversary) or for anyone looking to spice up their wardrobe behind closed doors!
Open daily, 10am to 7pm.
Mad Vibez
111 Scarborough St, Southport QLD 4215
Finally we have Mad Vibez, a fairly new arrival, tucked upstairs on Scarborough Street in Southport right next to the Allure Day Spa.
This is actually a really nice store with a modern design – one that you’re probably not expecting as you wander up those steps. It’s well-laid-out and not huge, but uses its space smartly to showcase a large range of products without feeling cluttered.
They stock some major brands here, including We-Vibe, Fun Factory, Womaniser and Kiiroo.
For those who can’t make it over to the store – or who can’t get up the stairs (sorry wheelchair users!), Mad Vibez has an excellent 1-hour delivery service available to GC customers on a minimum spend of $150.
Delivery runs all the way up to midnight when the store closes.
