Here's a visual tour of this inviting city.Īlthough San Diego has become increasingly eclectic in terms of where gays and lesbians live and socialize, the heart of the GLBT scene still centers on the bustling Hillcrest neighborhood, which is just a few blocks northwest of Balboa Park, and a 10-minute drive north of downtown. Head out to the beaches to catch a glimpse of the city's laid-back, friendly surfing and sunning spirit.
The city's once-staid downtown now abounds with hip hotels and lively restaurants, while such gay-friendly neighborhoods as Hillcrest, North Park, and University Heights are hot spots for gay clubbing and bar-hopping, dining, and shopping.
Sunny and spectacularly situated San Diego is one of the great playgrounds of the West among gay and lesbian travelers.
