Gay miami
Miami might not be the gay mecca it once was (R.I.P. Magnum, Mova, Score and so many others). Still, this city is home to a diverse and welcoming queer community, as evidenced by our plethora of Miami drag brunches, the epic Miami Beach Pride and Wynwood Pride festivals and a new wave of inclusive lgbtq+ parties popping up all around the city. Plus, a quick jaunt up north will get you to Wilton Manors, one of the most highly concentrated gay communities in the U.S. Basically, there’s plenty of action to be had if you know where to find it. So, without further adieu: Our roundup of the foremost gay clubs and bars in Miami right now.

In this detailed gay journal guide to Miami, we give you our tried and tested go-to selection of all the city’s queer highlights.
You know, there’s more to Miami than just buff eye-candy patrolling the beach in skimpy shorts…
…no, really!America’s most sun-soaked city is also one of its gayest, with no shortage of LGBTQ cultural highlights, party opportunities, and places to endure. We love it here. Whether enjoying a sushi lunch complete with sea views or dancing good into the early hours of the morning, Queer Miami is just so much fun!
Miami is also one of the most liberal cities in America, with a vibrant queer community that has been loud and proud for many decades now. There's a reason that Miami Pride is one of the best gay parties in all of Florida. Miami also offers plenty for the cultural traveler, too. We loved exploring the unique Art Deco architecture as well as the buzzing arts scene. It isn’t all beaches and cocktails here! However, there is that too.
A trip to Miami wouldn’t be complete without at least some b
We quickly realised on our first visit that Miami was welcoming to LGBTQ+ travellers – more on that below – but we were very happy to discover just how gay Miami was.
We have been travelling to Miami every year for the past 6 years – we always find ourselves there when we take our annual Atlantis gay cruise, and we usually only spend a couple of days either side of the cruise – so our previous gay Miami experience was always a little limited.

There are scant places in the States more iconic than Miami. Miami is where— to use a cliché—North meets South. Latin American society makes sweet love to that of urban Northern America. It’s glamorous yet inclusive, edgy but available. By day, Cadillacs blasting reggaeton cruise along the palm-tree-lined Ocean Drive, with Miami Beach full of speedo-wearing hunks on one side and rows of Art Deco-style hotels on the other. By bedtime, the streets hum with the sounds of bars and terraces packed with people from all over the world out to have a good time.
Miami is about more than just the beach and nightlife, though: it also has culture and art incorporated into its very bloodstream, evidenced by its superabundance of street art, galleries, and the aforementioned Art Deco buildings.
For decades, Miami has been a hotspot for the Queer community, both for locals and visitors alike. But as LGBTQ+ acceptance improves and the next generation becomes a dominant power in the travel sphere, you might wonder if Miami still holds the al
