The complete LGBTQ+ guide to Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors — America's gayborhood by the sea with 30+ venues on Wilton Drive, Sebastian Beach, and year-round events.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.

Fort Lauderdale has ten gay resorts and guesthouses, most of them men-only and clothing-optional, split between the beach side and Wilton Manors. Here is each one, what its own site says about pools, policies and rates, which ones sell day passes, and the all-welcome beach hotels to pick if you want the ocean instead of a walled garden.

The dated calendar of gay and lesbian cruises for 2027, plus what's still sailing in 2026 — Atlantis, VACAYA, Olivia, Big Gay Cruise, Brand g, BearCruise and more, checked against the operators' own sites.

Your guide to the best gay beaches in Florida — the top LGBTQ+ sands from Miami to Key West, what to expect at each, and where to stay nearby.
