South Florida turns up in most gay travel surveys as the “Most Popular US Destination for Gay & Lesbian Couples” with more than enough to offer LGBT visitors.
For those who live and work there, these cities enjoy vying for the title “epicenter of gay life in America” – especially gay village Wilton Manors and the vibrant resort city Ft. Lauderdale.
While Key West has long been a winter warmer vacation spot for Europeans, and Miami Beach a fashionable, art deco lovers destination, Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood, Florida are the most popular hotspots for lesbian and gay couples, and for those who follow the party circuit and pride celebrations across South Florida.
