I have a deep wanderlust and have been traveling extensively for the last 30 years. While I always want to investigate new destinations, there are some that are just so special to me that I carve out time to visit them annually. Two of those places are St. Martin and Croatia.
When describing the type of seaside traveler I am, I say that I am &#;Sporty Spice&#; meets &#;Posh Spice.&#; Sporty in the sense that I love adventure and nature, away from all of the cruise ship crowds and Posh in the sense that, after a great hike and swimming at a secluded beach, I devote to reward myself by experiencing aesthetic neighborhoods, restaurants, and decor, adding small touch of luxury and glam to my trips.
St. Martin offers the ideal mix of these things that I se
St. Maarten
I personally think St Maarten/Martin is the most gay-friendly island in the Caribbean. I've been to both sides several times and can report the following (as of Nov )
* The left two of the three beaches at Cupecoy (near the airport) are usually pretty gay.
* If you're into nudism, Orient Bay is a clothing optional beach that's quite beautiful. I personally find it too touristy as there are always people around taking photos.
* There is a small gay-owned B&B on the island called Villa Rainbow. We've never been but contain heard very good things. We will probably reside here the next moment we're there.
* As mentioned in the previous post, Eros, in Marigot, turns into a "gay-friendly" club on Saturday nights. There's also nearby Arches that's open during the high season.
* In Grand Case, there's a gay-owned, beachfront restaurant called "Calmos Cafe" that's worth a visit.
Possess a great time!

Well, we're glad you asked! We assess the most gay friendly places in the Caribbean and how safe they are as a vacation destination for LGBTQ travelers.
The Caribbean is a region of the Americas located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico. It’s famous for its tropical weather, beautiful cerulean skies, and crystal-clear waters.
However, certain areas of the Caribbean are also infamous for their conservative politics and anti-gay laws. Spending a couple of weeks surrounded by palm trees and Pina Coladas might sound cute on document, but just how protected is the Caribbean for the LGBTQ community?
To state these islands are something of a mixed bag when it comes to Caribbean gay travel would be the understatement of the century. Some islands like Puerto Rico and Curaçao are homo heavens. Others are still ‘evolving' when it comes to their LGBTQ rights…!
Read on to find out what we rate as the safest and most alluring for LGBTQ travelers. We also include a list of dishonorable mentions. In other words, the male lover no-fly zones should be avoided like the plague. No, crocs
