Beneath crystal blue skies and sun drenched palms gay travelers from all over the world lounge about turquoise pools, hike the majestic canyons, shop at world famous stores and outlets, and dance the night away under multi-colored lights.

Palm Springs boasts a large and diverse local gay population as well as a constant stream of out-of-town, out-of-state and international visitors. You will sense the friendly spirit from the moment you arrive.

Here, more than anywhere else, gay men and women of all ages, from all backgrounds and places, can visit, be together, and be at ease. When you leave this tropical oasis you will find yourself carrying more than the souvenirs of happy times you will also have new friendships that will last a lifetime.
