ABOUT SOUTHWEST FL

LGBTQ Southwest Florida

Naples is known for its great shopping and dining on Fifth Avenue, excellent fishing and world-class golf courses, not necessarily for being a gay hotspot. But that doesn’t mean that gay bars and gay-friendly accommodations can’t be found. With more than a hint of cosmopolitanism, Naples attracts its healthy dose of gay and lesbian travelers every beach season.

Fort Myers’s gay scene might not be as loud as in Florida’s larger cities, but it’s definitely there!

Neighborhood bars are casual and tend to cater to a friendly crowd.

And expect to get your game on, as some several of the bars now offer space for gaming tournaments. Fort Myers is just a short drive away from Port Charlotte, if you’re looking for more local fun.
