Fort Lauderdale is considered one of the gayest destinations in the USA – and you can feel that especially in Wilton Manors. This independent city north of the centre has one of the highest proportions of queer residents in the country, and bars, clubs, cafes and boutiques are lined up along Wilton Drive. Here you will find everything the nightlife needs, from the relaxed cocktail lounge to the full dance floor. During the day, the wide, kilometre-long sandy beach with the promenade beckons, as well as numerous boutique resorts that are specifically aimed at gay travellers. The countless canals have earned Fort Lauderdale the nickname Venice of America – a boat tour is worthwhile. Travel between November and April, when the humidity is bearable and the hurricane season is over. From here, it's only about 45 minutes to Miami, so you can combine both scenes well. The climate is warm and sunny all year round.
