Which areas are the most gay friendly? Would love the Key West lifestyle but need to stay somewhere a bit more accessible. I understand the Delray Beach area has a thriving gay community. Would any LGBT residents care to share their experiences?
Thank you!

Yes, Delray Beach is indeed a good area for LGBT people. Also, you may wish to consider Lake Worth just north of Delray beach as they have a sizeable LGBT community as well. And obviously, Fort lauderdale.

Good luck

We are planning to spend a week or so in January in Delray to get a feel for the area. Never heard anything about Lake Worth..
Thanks for your insight!

To be honest, Lake Worth probably has the highest per capita gay community in Palm Beach County.

It's a city in transition, however... I'd stick to the NE section of the city, as it's the best part.... but some good deals can be had there for sure. Probably some of the best deals for coastal Palm Beach County.

West Palm Beach (coastal) also has a sizeable gay influence, especially in the historic neighborhoods surrounding downtown. On my street there's at least 4 gay households that I know of.

Default Delray Beach

Delray has a vibrant little downtown which is full of coffee shops, bars, etc. I would recommend being as close to downtown as possible. There are a few new buildings right there if the price is right for you. The beach is great, just a short walk from downtown.

At least in Delray you don't feel like you're in Guatemala, like you do in Lake Worth. Delray is great.
