About this place Sebastian Street Beach

Sebastian Street Beach is the stretch of Fort Lauderdale beach where gay men, and plenty of lesbians and friends, have gathered for decades. Head to the sand where Sebastian Street meets A1A. It's a public city beach with no gay facilities as such. You just find the crowd, spread out a towel and swim. Afternoons and weekends are the busiest times. The bars and guesthouses of Fort Lauderdale's beach area are a short walk away, and Wilton Manors, the main gay district, is a short drive inland. Bring shade and water, because the Florida sun is strong. Parking along A1A is metered and fills up fast on weekends.
