As social progress moves forward, we don’t need to look at gay events as the only reason to get out and see the world. Airlines, hotels and cities spend millions of dollars every year attracting gay tourists because of the level of cache they bring and because they know how to have fun!

People look to gay men because they are the early adopters who bring home news on how wonderful a destination can be. They are the ones their community looks to when seeking advice on finding exciting new places to go. Check our their photo gallery from their vacations to all parts of the world.

Listen as we talk about staying in shape when you’re away from home, what parts of the world are opening up to gay tourists, tips and tricks for the gay traveler PLUS- the world’s greatest gay beaches.

Nate at Hollywood BeachWe love Hollywood Beach in Chicago because it is just down the road from us. Although you can access it all year, if you want fun in the sun, you better come in the summer months or else you’ll get an ice cube.

While Lake Michigan doesn’t usually freeze over, the water is cold, cold, cold. I don’t even consider swimming in it until July when it finally warms up.

Of course the main reason to go to any beach is to have fun people watching. At Hollywood Beach the colorful and diverse crowd ranges from HUNK to SKUNK! You’ll be aroused and entertained by the the average sun bather basking on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan.

After laying out all day in the sun, make sure you head over to Big Chicks for drinks and a free delicious buffet on Sundays.

Here’s a short list of Hot Gay Beaches:
Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema, Spain’s Sitges, Miami South Beach, Sydney’s Bondi Beach, Costa Rica’s Manuel Antonio Beach, South Africa’s Clifton Beach, Mykonos in Greece, and Marc’s hometown of Erie, PA Presque Isle’s Beach One.
