One reviewer writes:If you're tired of the SoBe artificial scene with plastic people and overpriced restaurants, Sebastian Beach is the place where the gay community has drifted as the market drifted nothwards also. Sebastian Beach is relatively small,in the shadow of the new Westin and Trump towers, but this small three-block area is assiduously populated by a large, in-shape, crowd, totally different from the Wal-Mart sized oiled crowd in the rest of the expansive Ft. Lauderdale beach. The gay area is three blocks to the South of the large string of gay B&B and gay hotels, and buffered to the North by the jet ski channel; to the South by that invisible buffer that seems to appear on all gay beaches. Much less pretentious than its cousin to the South. And nice people.
