Gay Travel In Key West
Key West has been known as a gay travel destination for decades, but it is also a popular place for gays and lesbians to live. Although the isle is only four miles across, there are more than 7,000 gay women and men (of the 27,000 residents) who call Key West home. Most other inhabitants of this Caribbean paradise are unusually open-minded, as well. It's no surprise that Key West has become known as somewhat of a gay and lesbian paradise. Gay women and men who enjoy fine food will also love Key West, and who doesn't enjoy a good meal?
Mangoes allows vacationers to dine and people-watch from its tranquil garden of fig trees and canvas umbrellas. Kelly's Caribbean Bar & Grill is also popular with the gay travel set; this cute white bistro is owned by actress Kelly McGillis, and serves some of the best Key Lime Pie.
There are also many bars and nightclubs that seem more like a gay or lesbian paradise, with some of the friendliest men and women around. There are quite a few businesses in Key West that are owned by gay women and men, and the rainbow flag can be seen flying as frequently as the American flag. This is also a more popular gay travel destination for older gays and lesbians, since it attracts a wider diversity of age groups and body types than South Beach Miami. Everyone is welcome in this gay and lesbian paradise, including families with young children. The whole island exudes a safe and relaxing atmosphere.
