You loved our annual photo guides to the world’s best gay beaches and gay nude beaches, and we loved bringing them to you.
But we know that getting to the seaside isn’t always feasible for you busy city dwellers. So with summer fast approaching, we’ve now scoured the globe to bring you this list of what we think of as the best “urban beaches” – in-town parks (or sections thereof) that we’ve proudly claimed as gay space, the kind of place where you can worship the sun in a swimsuit on a beach towel and share a picnic with a friend–and still walk home in a few minutes.
Of course ever since there were parks, gays have been rendezvousing in them for secret outdoor fun. But we’re focusing here on the parks that have become popular (and totally legal) meeting grounds.
This is really the first list of its kind anywhere, so we’re eager to hear from you in the comments section about any urban parks or plazas from around the world that we might have missed. We’ll bring you the best of those in a list to come.
Meanwhile, as always, click through and enjoy the view.
