North Beach is poised to become one of the “hottest gay neighborhoods” in Fort Lauderdale. The famously “gay beach” Sebastian Street Beach is located in Fort Lauderdale Beach, and is part of the pedestrian-friendly “strip” on a barrier island home to many hotels, shops and restaurants. Oakland Park is a “sister city” to Wilton Manors’ north. “The Island City,” as it’s known, is a little municipality 10 minutes north of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 40 minutes north of Miami. The main street is “the Drive” (aka Wilton Drive), where shops and restaurants alike proudly display their rainbow flags. With 14% LGBT population, this walkable suburb with a small-town atmosphere is dubbed the country’s “Second Gayest City” (second only to Provincetown). If it is your wish to live in the “gayest city in Florida”, make Wilton Manors your next home. South Florida – Ft Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, West Palm Beach, Miami Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors
