The gay beach is located at 12th Street and Ocean Drive. It is not too difficult to find, with the rainbow flags marking the territory between two chair rental spots. The gay beach is mostly a hangout for men, but you will also find lesbians and straights camping out here too. Rent a chair or umbrella from Boucher Brothers or lay a towel in the sand like the locals do.

Haulover Beach is Clothing Optional
If you prefer to sunbathe au natural, Haulover Beach Park offers one of the best nude beaches in the United States. The nude beach is located 11 miles north of South Beach, so you need consider transportation to and from the beach. A taxi ride will be expensive, but Route 120 Beach MAX on Miami-Dade public bus service from South Beach gives you a very inexpensive option. Check out this excellent resource for more detailed information.
