Gay Key West – the best same-sex attracted hotels, resorts, bars, clubs & more
Key West is a bona fide gaytopia! Nestled at the southernmost tip of the United States, just 90 miles from Cuba and surrounded by the shimmering waters of the Atlantic on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other, how can such a peaceful setting be anything but liberal?
Over the centuries, Key West and the Florida Keys have been the ports of pirates, famous sailors, and later, the home of inspirational writers like Ernest Hemingway. Nowadays, it's the perfect merge of Caribbean flair and American essence, where a chilled-out ‘live and allow live' approach to life dominates among its inhabitants. Not to mention, it has a flourishing gay scene away from pesky mainland politics.
This eclectic, delightful little island has loads to extend active travelers—kayaking, skydiving, shipwreck diving—and just the right amount of low-key activities in the establish of beaches, shops, and galleries for those who just want to dip their toes into the Caribbean in a familiar LGBTQ+-friendly environment.

GAY MUST DO - RULE OF 3
As you read this blog on the wondrous gay scene of Key West, just remember the three gay things that you MUST do. In order:First, the gay Tea Sway on Sunday at La Te Da - 4pm. Dance in the open air in the wonderful heat and the setting sun. One of the finest gay tea dances in the world (and I am a connoisseur of this dying breed!).
Second, the lovely Bourbon Street pub and their even lovelier strippers. The main / busiest / biggest Key West gay bar. Every night, but don't get there until after midnight.
Third, the drag show at Aqua and the ultimate drag queen and supremo Inga. Classic. Hilarious.
Do all three. More details and links below.

From a 24-hour pool to a cruisy sauna and gym, Island House invites you to relax, connect, and just be. Whether you’re here for flirtation, friendship, or a quiet mo
