Queer Travel Guide to Miami.

Miami has long been a favorite destination and hotspot for the queer community. With its flourishing queer community, diverse neighborhoods, vibrant nightlife, bars, and party scene, Greater Miami & Miami Beach makes visitors of all ages, orientations, and identities feel comfortable. So, start your visit at the LGBT Visitor Center–one of the first in the country–to find helpful information to enrich your vacation.

Our Great Outdoors

Miami is home to an array of pristine, tropical beaches, including two semi-official gay beaches: 12th Street Beach and Haulover Park Beach. The 12th Street Beach is perfect for those in search of a party vibe, rainbow flags, and an iconic lifeguard station. Haulover Park Beach is one of the best naturist beaches in the world and is famously the only beach with a clothing-optional section in South Florida.

Adventure seekers have much more to explore beyond the shore, with two National Parks and a variety of beautiful local and state parks perfect for hiking, biking, paddling, and more.

Family Friendly

Miami is a welcoming, fun, and family-friendly destination ready and waiting to entertain all types of families. Whether your family likes to have fun in the sun or have a ball at an attraction, Miami has the full spectrum of activities available for all ages. There's no shortage of outdoor adventure from beach days to airboat tours. In addition, there are plenty of world-class museums to explore, including the Miami Children's Museum on Watson Island, which hosts "Rainbow Families Day" for all children to celebrate Pride and diversity. The Miami Beach Pride parade and festival in April have also become increasingly welcoming to families with family-safe play areas and activities.
