The area is home to swanky hotels and several gay bed and breakfasts. Sebastian Beach is one of the gay scene’s hotspots, and it is where boys and girls in the gay community - locals and travelers - come to bask in the sun. There are a multitude of gay-owned and operated establishments located in Wilton Manors, a bustling hotspot for residents and visitors, often referred to as the heart of the gay scene.
