Thompson Memorial Park

Thompson Memorial Park

Mixed Ages, Cruising

The Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park is the largest park/campground in Miami-Dade County. The park, adjacent to Zoo Miami, totals 270 acres. It is located in southwest Miami, two miles west of the Florida Turnpike's Exit 13 between SW 134th Ave. and SW 122nd Ave. on the north side of Eureka Drive. The crowd is a good mix of young and old guys, and whilst the park is open sunrise to sunset, the best times to go are mornings from 10am until late afternoon. The cruisiest spots are reported to be the paths on west side of the park behind the pavilions. Note that Police do hang out in park and drive along a path from pavillions 1 and 2.
Legion Park

Legion Park

Mixed Ages, Cruising

Legion Park is located on the upper east side of Miami. The park's parking lot is popular during the day but gets busiest at lunchtime and after work. Seems to attract married/bi types looking to experiment. At Biscayne Blvd & NE 66th Street. Enter the parking lot from NE 64th Terrace & 7th Avenue.
Haulover Beach

Haulover Beach

Mixed Ages, Cruising

Haulover Beach Park contains one of south Florida's most beautiful clothing optional beaches-a 0.4 mile stretch of beach on the northern portion that draws people from all walks of life. Nestled between the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, it has pristine white sand shores, open ocean surf, various shaded picnic facilities, beautifully landscaped sand dunes, and concession stands. The gay part of the beach is usually the northern part of the nude beach. The North Parking Lot at the northern end of the park is the first choice for the clothing-optional beach. If this lot is full, go about 0.3 mile south on A1A past the entrance to the boat ramp to Parking Lot #1 and park at the north end of this lot.
Bayfront Park

Bayfront Park

Younger Crowd, Cruising

Many guys from the cruise ships who are off for the day come here looking to relax. Make eye contact and take it from there. The cruisiest spot is reported as being in front of Bubba Gump. Popular times are lunch to mid afternoon when the crew have their time off before the new passengers arrive.

Tours & Experiences in Miami

Miami is not a city that believes in being understated. Explore the Art Deco streets of South Beach, eat your way through Little Havana or cruise Biscayne Bay, then freshen up and head back out — because Miami after dark is very much part of the experience.


Gay friendly hotels in Miami

For most LGBTQ+ holidaymakers, South Beach is the natural place to stay in Miami. You’ll be close to the beach, Ocean Drive, restaurants and much of the gay nightlife, with the popular gay beach nearby too. Brickell and Downtown offer a more urban Miami experience with excellent hotels but put you further from the South Beach scene. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from stylish Art Deco stays to rooftop-pool luxury, helping you choose between being close to the beach action or enjoying the city from a little distance.
