Gay Miami & South Beach:

Its beautiful beaches, Caribbean climate, and non-stop nightlife have for years been the city's recipe for tourist satisfaction, and its wealth of attractions catered to the LGBT community has made Miami a top destination for the discerning gay traveler.

Of course not all Miami is glittering gold. Like any big city, Miami has its fair share of urban sprawl; so you'll want to concentrate your efforts on where gay establishment proprietors did theirs: 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 concentration of sun-bronzed beautiful people, 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. 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.
