Day 1-5: Fort Lauderdale
In Fort Lauderdale, it’s all about the beaches. Soak up the first rays of your holiday in the chic destination of Fort Lauderdale Beach. With its brick-lined beachfront promenade dotted with luxe palm trees, this is the perfect place for a stroll, jog or blade. Retro cool Hollywood Beach features the two-and-a-half-mile long Boardwalk which has enchanted visitors since the 1920s. Sebastian Street Beach is a well-known gay beach which attracts a sizeable crowd.
No trip to Fort Lauderdale is complete without exploring the myriad of waterways. Today, hop on a tour or hire your own boat and see where the day takes you. Later, head to Wilton Manors, home to one of the world’s largest LGBT communities which has been named as the ‘second gayest city’ in the US and is home to many of the best gay venues.
Day 6-9: Miami
Time to head to world-famous Miami. South Beach is the quintessential Miami hot spot – well-known as a trendy locale for beaching, shopping and partying. Cape Florida has calm waters that are perfect for kayaking, or for more lively watersports head to Collins and Sunny Isles Beach. As you would expect there’s also a buzzing gay scene that centers in and around South Beach. You’ll find the most concentrated area on the beach is between 12th Street and Ocean Drive.
For the ultimate combination of shopping, entertainment and lively atmosphere, look no further than Bayside Marketplace. There’s a fun atmosphere and live music and over 150 specialty shops in this outdoor style mall, including exotic jewelry and fine crafts stores, many with beautiful Biscayne Bay vistas.
