When you are on a beach with tens of thousands of other LGBT people, they are all your friends. Over the years, businesses on Pensacola Beach as well as the mainland have opened their doors in welcome to the LGBT visitors and locals alike, sporting rainbow adornment as well as specials harkening to us for that weekend.

The sides of the beach road are stuffed with cars that bear tags from all over the South — Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee — as well as Florida. These often include nationally known entertainers as well as hard thumping music and flashing lights.

Some of the girls are in skimpy two-pieces. These can go on until the early morning or even sunrise the next day. Something fabulous, of course! Everyone is glad to see you. They work hard to make themselves look so over-the-top. Might also be a record-setter for Jell-O shots on the beach.

What to know about

I wouldn't be doing my local due diligence if I didn't pass along official information for the weekend. Celebrate Pride with Pensacola's queer community PensaPride hosts an inclusive festival featuring an artists market, live music, performances, local cuisine and more each June.

What does a drag queen wear to the beach? As a local, I often wonder how the LGBT visitors who try to take in all the festivities find time to sleep! The options for campy camp themes are endless. The eastern end of Pensacola Beach is awash with tents, kites and rainbow flags.
