If it isn't the sunny weather or sandy beaches drawing gay tourists to Fort Lauderdale, it must be the astounding number of gay bed & breakfasts, bars, and restaurants. It seems like everybody's flocking to this part of South Florida to take advantage of the ideal weather, beautiful attractions and easy lifestyle.

The city has quickly evolved into one of America's premier gay resorts, and it's no wonder. Fort Lauderdale has always been cherished by beach-goers who want to avoid the pretension and extravagance of other fun-in-the-sun destinations. Best of all, Ft. Lauderdale is affordable while offering plenty of eye candy. In nearby Wilton Manors, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, you'll find a concentration of fun gay shops and some of the city's most popular nightlife.

Fort Lauderdale is a big stop for International tourists and a number of major events. Depending on who's in town the atmosphere can be frenetic or chill. Find out what's on the calendar.
