Very welcoming; this place is gay-tastic!

Fun resorts, buzzing nightlife and non-stop sunshine: Florida's gayest beach town shows no signs of slowing down!

Gayborhood Rainbow flags are as ubiquitous as palm trees in Ft. Lauderdale. Scores of gay bars, inns and businesses thrive all over town.
Feeling adventurous? For the hardcore scuba divers, Fort Lauderdale delivers a three-tiered coral reef system and multiple wreck sites. Scary, huh?
Shop much? Fort Lauderdale has an upscale mall called The Galleria with stores such as Saks and Neiman Marcus. Ka-ching!
Ride 'n' Pride! Sunshine Stampede Rodeo Weekend in early April means "put on your chaps!" Check the Florida Gay Rodeo Association for info. Plus, the rodeo kicks off Pride Week!
Nice Packet Fort Lauderdale's gay offerings are never-ending. Request a free Rainbow Vacation Planner at sunny.org/rainbow.
Get the 411 Snag a free copy of Fort Lauderdale's gay nightlife rag, 411 Magazine. It's a little trashy and totally wonderful.
Taxi? Sticking to the gay resorts, beaches and clubs? You'll be fine on foot and inside cabs. Looking to venture out of town or to the Everglades? Rent a car.
Venice who? Fort Lauderdale has over 42,000 boats and yachts dotting its 300-miles of inland waterways. These palaces-on-the-water will make your jaw drop!
The Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB is a member of the IGLTA, the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association, which supports and promotes LGBT travel around the world.
