Ft Desoto Beach

Follow I-275 to the Pinellas Bayway exit (#4) and proceed west, following signs to Ft. DeSoto Park. Once in the park, follow signs to the North Beach and park in the last parking lot. Then walk a short distance, crossing the "rainbow bridge" and wading across a shallow lagoon. You will find yourself at a breathtakingly beautiful beach! Continue to your right (north) to the end of the island which is where gays (and lesbians) will congregate.
