ABOUT

LGBTQ+ Broward County

Fort Lauderdale is a tropical paradise. The city offers gay beaches, nude beaches and sultry swimming pools at exclusively gay resorts. Gay bars and clubs cater to everyone from bears to softball players to singles looking for a quiet lounge atmosphere for a date.

Taking a break from the pool and beach? The Riverwalk arts and entertainment district in downtown Fort Lauderdale is a must-see. The Riverwalk is also called Florida’s ‘most beautiful mile. ‘ If you are inclined, there is golf, performing arts, a 3D IMAX theater, and museums as well as nature centers and Butterfly World.

Shopping is a popular pastime for gay visitors. The hottest spots include Las Olas Boulevard’s unique shops and cafes and the diverse and fun Festival Flea Market. With so many great options to choose from, Fort Lauderdale will be a very memorable experience indeed.

LGBTQ+ Miami

Miami is more than glittering golden tans and speedos under bulging biceps. Like any big city, Miami has its fair share of urban sprawl; so you’ll want to concentrate your time on where gay establishment proprietors centered their time: South Beach--with occasional forays to attractions elsewhere.

Technically not part of Miami at all, but rather of the city of Miami Beach, South Beach--or SoBe, as per its locals--is where the party’s at. And with one of the world’s greatest concentrations of beautiful people and sun-drenched beaches, what a party it is.

Start the day off with a stroll down Ocean Drive, where you’ll pass restaurants, bars, and clubs on one side and the sandy beach and rolling waves on the other. Follow in the footsteps of celebrities, including some of the world’s most sought-after fashion models. If shopping’s your game, then take a turn onto Lincoln Road, whose open-air mall is sure to make your mouth water and your credit card shudder. Once you’ve had your fill, drop your bags off at your hotel, and prepare yourself for one of the hottest nights out you’ll ever experience.
