Fort Lauderdale Welcome to“Sunny”
Ft. Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is the perfect combination of sea, sand, sun and fun. Although your goal is a few days of relaxation, you may end up happily burning the candle at both ends. The phrase most often overheard is, “I’ll get some sleep on the beach/plane/back home tomorrow.” Just go with it. The second most commonly overheard phrase is, “That wasn’t here last time I visited.” Gay Fort Lauderdale is always growing, improving and welcoming. Your visit is easy to map once you set the pins on a five-pointed star: gay beach, Wilton Manors, Las Olas Blvd, downtown and the airport. Bicycles, taxis, water-taxis, buses, shuttles and trolleys connect them all. You’ll find a wide variety of superb restaurants dishing up every type of cuisine. You’ll find more bars, lounges and clubs than may be sampled in a single trip. For culture-seekers, there are fine art museums and gay history museums and The Broward Center. For nature lovers, there are river walks, Birch Park, and The Bonnet House. There are several gay hotels, guesthouses and spas ready to rejuvenate your body and soul. For repeat visitors who think they have already seen it all, there is the new rail system called Brightline, connecting Fort Lauderdale to its nearby communities. Explore, discover and unwind on South Florida’s new express train—Brightline. Fort Lauderdale’s official slogan, “Hello Sunny!” says it all. This guide/map and FunTravelGuides.com, which has current info, will help you plan your visit without missing a thing. Relax and enjoy. -- Tony Adams

Wilton Manors
Wilton Manors Island City Lofts
Wilton Manors is enjoying a renaissance as a gay destination. Improvements to Wilton Drive make strolling, dining and bar-hoping easier than ever. With so many new restaurants and bars opening up, the most commonly overhead words are, “That wasn’t here last time I visited!” Wilton Manors seems bigger than its two square miles by offering visitors a wide variety of options for lodging, dining, culture, shopping and entertainment. Wilton Manors is about 2 miles from the beach, 7 miles from the airport and 3 miles to downtown Fort Lauderdale. Transportation options, - including shuttle, bicycle, and Uber – keep you well connected. You’ll find this “island city” welcoming, casual and full of fun for all LGBT visitors. Wilton Manors, the Island City, is in the center of it all.
