Since the late 1980's, South Miami Beach (SoBe for short) has been a popular gay jet set destination. The mention of South Beach conjures up images of endless, sunny days at the beach, nonstop nights of partying at some of the hottest bars and clubs in the world, and a continuous flow of sexy men from all corners of the globe.

A lot on the "Billion Dollar Sandbar" has changed since those earlier days. Despite the changes, South Beach continues to reinvent itself, evolve and grow. The city has maintained its status as a premiere gay playground with full international appeal. The boys still flock to the beach for their fun in the sun.
