| Those searching for Florida’s
west coast gay beach will revel in the delights
of
Sunset Beach, located on southern tip
of St. Pete’s Treasure Island.
The strip of beach once famous for
housing double-story foam parties at the club
Bedrocks now keeps the gay momentum alive with
regular Sunday beach parties. Parties are most
intense on Sundays between Memorial Day and
Labor Day when Tampa hot spots even set up
beachfront booze outlets. The crowd at the only
LGBT beach in the Tampa Bay tends to be young,
hot, somewhat cliquish gay men peppered with
butch lesbians and Miller Lites. Beyond Sundays,
Sunset Beach is hit or miss, but almost always
occupied with a few stragglers. From a column by
