GAY SNA HAWAII

The bt issue to wns a Gay Sna Hawaii is when all the gog to members put on the same towel the exact same lour, on the siar part of the body velop a sort of equal-stat atmosphere wh out any nsc stat reprentatn.

In a gay sna you n fd jacuzzis, steam snas, Fnish snas, darkrooms or roman snas, amongst que a few other snas have serly good staffs that pamper the client wh fantastic solutns and he n love the tradnal sna ssns, and there are rooms for smokers to appreciate their cigars void of botherg other patrons. A gay sna is a spot enuraged at any time, there you n loosen up, appreciate your self and overlook all your troubl but you also n meet new folks and have gay snas you n lote distct varieti of facili that vary size and style, such hot tubs or pools.

HONOLULU, WAIKIKI, AND OAHU GAY GUI AND PHOTO GALLERY

When you thk of gay-iendly, stunngly betiful, tropil getaways, Hawaii leaps immediately to md. And the pal cy of Honolulu, wh s vibrant though rather heavily veloped Waikiki beachont, ntas the heart of the state's gay scene.

This dramatilly suated cy on the island of Oahu has several gay bars, a great dg scene, and proximy to many notable attractns. By far the most popular gay beach Hawaii, and one of the most scenic and well-known the world, Queen's Surf Beach is a relatively seclud stretch of sand the heart of Waikiki, but along a sectn wh no direct hotel ontage - this acunts for the fact there's more privacy and fewer fai here than to the north or south.

The beach here draws a mostly gay-male crowd, although certaly not exclively so, as plenty of lbians and straights seekg secln tan their his here, too. Queen's Surf is easy to reach - 's jt a short walk along the beachont south of where Kapaluhu Avenue tersects wh Kalaka Avenue at the beach (not far om Hula's gay bar).

GAY HONOLULU TRAVEL GUI

As the day progrs and the sun sets, many of the beachgoers here walk over to nearby Hula's gay bar for some post-beach socializg and hobnobbg. Although 's neher as popular nor as gay-intified as Queen's Surf Beach at the southeast end of Waikiki, the seclud Diamond Head Beach (jt off 3300 Diamond Head Road, below the lighthoe, and requirg a b of a hike down to the sand) do have a b of a gay followg. 5-e walk om the more central tersectn of Kapahulu Avenue and Kalaka (near Hula's gay bar and Queen's Surf Beach).

A view of Waikiki beach and s strg of high-rise hotels at night, om the gro (jetty) that extends om the Outrigger Reef on the Beach Hotel ('s to the left of the Halekulani Hotel, the property pictured here on the very left - the Reef is one of the most luxur of the several Waikiki hotels that make up the gay-iendly Outrigger cha). One of the most tertg aspects of stayg at Oahu's gay-iendly JW Marrtt Ihilani Rort is the chance to teract wh mare life, cludg the hammerhead sharks (as shown here) that swim around the rort's mare pools. Jt a short drive or slightly longer walk northeast om Honolulu's ltle gay epicenter around Kapahulu and Kalaka avenu, you'll fd a slew of expensive, funky eateri that form somethg of an offbeat Rtrant Row along Kapahulu, wh Wala Shave Ice (3113 Mokihana St., jt off of Kapahulu Ave., 808-735-8886) one of this area's five mt-tast.

The ABC Store pictured here is at the rner of Lemon Road and Paoakalani Avenue, right by the fab Hotel Renew and a block om Hula's gay bar. So while there certaly aren't any ABC Stor wh a specifilly gay missn, this one arguably draws more "fay", bee of s lotn, than any other ABC Store Hawaii.

GAY NIGHTLIFE HONOLULU: BT BARS, CLUBS, & MORE

This part of the beach, which is onted by numero high-rise rorts, tends to be que crowd - gays and lbians tend to ngregate farther southeast (toward Diamond Head), at Queen's Surf Beach, and also well around the pot at Diamond Head Beach. Havg pleted a multi-ln renovatn 2009 that took several years and cludg a top-to-bottom overhl, the Reef on the Beach (2169 Kalia Rd., 808-923-3111) hotel now ranks among the gay-iendly Outrigger brand's most allurg and appealg acmodatns - ed, 's safe to ll this the Outrigger's flagship hotel (although the nearby Outrigger Waikiki is also very imprsive). Next to Kaplani Park, and across om two of Waikiki's most proment gay hangouts - Queen's Surf Beach and Hula's gay bar, the Honolulu Zoo (151 Kapahulu Ave., 808-971-7171) is a popular and easily accsed attractn.
