MIAMI Sun, sand, art, deco, and a great night life; Miami is all about pleasure! South Beach (SoBe) is the heart of the party scene in a city that takes its hedonism, ostentation and extravagance very seriously. Beyond the bling and bikinis lies a city of stylish restaurants, decadent lounge bars and a burgeoning arts scene offering irresistible Miami virtues and vices in equal measure. Miami is both a playground and a catwalk… and the perfect destination for gay and lesbians!

Palace Bar and Grill Bronze and Cruise across from Miami's Gay Beach! Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is a dependable group of regulars at the bar almost every evening.

The Palace is an institution on Ocean Drive, and is popular thanks to its proximity near the gay beach at 12th Street.

GAY & LESBIAN BEACHES 12th Street Gay Beach Follow the rainbow flags to this oh so popular gay beach 12th Street Beach is loudly and proudly gay. Populated mostly by gay men, you'll also find some pockets of lesbians and even a few straight women, who enjoy bathing topless away from prying eyes of straight men. Look for the rainbow flags by the lifeguard stations. South Beach - 1200 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL Haulover Beach Go au natural at a spectacular beach It isn't technically legal to sunbathe nude in Florida, but it is generally tolerated at Haulover Beach. It's about 11 miles north of South Beach, so it isn't the most convenient location, but it's not too hard to find. The north end of Haulover is the clothing optional section that is frequented by gay men, with a few women. Note: gay sunbathing is popular on weekdays, whereas weekends are overrun by rowdy locals. Sunny Isles - 10800 Collins, Miami, FL 3rd Street Beach Ay papi... This is not a gay beach, but the gays love coming here. Why? Because this is the "Brazilian" beach, complete with Latino men who prefer square-cut trunks, better to show off their thick legs and plump assets. It is also a beautiful area, with soft sand, and it is close to South Pointe Park. South Beach - 3rd Street and Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL
