Don\u2019t we all just want to pack our bags and enjoy our lesbian vacation? Without needing to worry if we can get a double bed without awkward questions, without worrying if we can hold hands in public, and that we can kiss whenever we want?<\/p>\n

Sadly, extra preparation is still needed as a queer female or lesbian traveler. But we are here to make things easier for you! These are 17 welcoming lesbian vacation destinations in the USA, so you don\u2019t have to worry about doing all the research anymore.<\/p>\n

From relaxing on the beach, exploring exciting cities, hiking through the woods, and skiing from the slopes, we\u2019ve included the best lesbian getaways where we\u2014queer people\u2014are welcomed with open arms!\u00a0And if you like to go out for a drink at a lesbian bar: We included those for you, too.<\/p>\n

Not only we are here to help you, there are more resources online to making planning an LGBTQIA vacation easy.

While the microsite is new, it’s good to note that\u00a0Orbitz has been supporting the LGBTQIA community for years, and that\u2019s why we love them even more.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here are some of our favorite lesbian-friendly travel destinations around the United States:<\/p>\n

New York City, New York<\/h2>\n
\"Top<\/figure>\n

What\u2019s a list with lesbian vacation destinations in the USA without New York City on it?<\/p>\n

New York City has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities in the United States. And the city is a historically important place for the community.\u00a0This is where the gay rights\u2019 movement started with the Stonewall Riots.<\/p>\n

NYC has 3 lesbian bars, Cubbyhole, Henrietta Hudson, and Ginger\u2019s Bar (known as G-Spot). And of course, you have to visit the iconic The Stonewall Inn. Read more about queer and lesbian bars in NYC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYC is a city you have to visit at least once in your life. Or that\u2019s what we think.\u00a0We can\u2019t get enough of it!<\/p>\n

Provincetown is a seaside town in Massachusetts that is famous for being very welcoming. Many gay travelers from all around the world travel to Provincetown.<\/p>\n

Yes, many gay men go to Provincetown, but it\u2019s also a great place to go to as a lesbian traveler. It\u2019s really an LGBTQ+ friendly town in the USA. Maybe the most LGBTQ+ friendly in the whole country? We let you decide for yourself!<\/p>\n

There are many things to do in and around Provincetown (also known as PTown). How does sailing on the ocean sound, for example? Or exploring many art galleries?<\/p>\n

Honolulu, Hawaii<\/h2>\n
The islands of Hawaii are perfect to visit for a relaxing holiday and have, arguably, the most stunning scenery in the United States. It\u2019s also an adventurous lesbian vacation destination in the USA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are lots of fun and exciting things to do! There are 8 major islands. Oahu definitely has most to offer for the LGBTQ community, especially its capital city Honolulu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, gay life in the state of Hawaii is more modest than mainland USA: Don\u2019t expect a lesbian mecca, but you will be welcomed in the Aloha State. Hawaii is famous for being with relaxing vibes!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The neighborhood Waikiki is the LGBTQIA center of Honolulu. This is the place to be for great dining, relaxing beach vibes, and queer nightlife. Stop at Scarlet Honolulu for a drink, to watch a drag show, and dance the night away. Scarlet Honolulu is one of the main bars in Oahu for the queer community.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Make sure to visit Waikiki Beach and Queen\u2019s Surf beach too. Hike Diamond Head if you are looking for adventure, relax on the beach afterwards!<\/p>\n

\"Fire<\/figure>\n

Only located two hours away from Manhattan, New York City, Fire Island is a small car-free island with only about 300 residents, most of whon are part of the LGBTQIA community. But many tourists and summer residents love to go here.<\/p>\n

Fire Island Pines, also known as The Pines, is the first LGBTQIA (beach) town in the States. Close to it is Cherry Grove Beach, which is the place to go for lesbians, while Pines is more for gay men.<\/p>\n

But the whole island is super welcoming and accepting. It has great vibes, and is a great place to be yourself an enjoy life.<\/p>\n

\"Los<\/figure>\n
\n
\n

Like NYC, Los Angeles is a city with a large LGBTQIA community. Visit LA and live your own The L Word<\/em> story! In case you forgot, the series follows a group of queer friends living in West Hollywood.<\/p>\n

West Hollywood is a predominantly gay city within in Los Angeles and is where the fun nightlife happens. Head to the Abbey to dance, eat, and drink!<\/p>\n

About two hours away from Los Angeles you can find Palm Springs, which is perfect if you are looking for a lesbian getaway. Palm Springs is a desert resort city that attracts many tourists.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Many know Palm Springs from the famous festival Coachella. But us lesbians know it from a way more famous festival (in our eyes).\u00a0Dinah Shore Weekend, the largest lesbian festival in the world, is a great reason to visit Palm Springs, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mardi<\/figure>\n

New Orleans is among the best US lesbian vacation destinations.\u00a0In the past, the city has been nominated by Gay Cities for the most welcoming city in the world. And Advocate<\/em> listed New Orleans as the fifth queerest city in the USA!<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico<\/h2>\n
\"Old<\/figure>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Before traveling to Puerto Rico, we didn\u2019t know this as we’re from Holland, but technically this Caribbean island is a US territory.\u00a0If you are American and want to visit Puerto Rico, you don\u2019t even need a passport; a government issued ID is enough!<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico is a beautiful island to visit! We really enjoy its beaches, tropical waters, fun nightlife, great dining, and adventurous activities (think about zip lining through a rainforest and riding a quad bike).\u00a0Or enjoy the waters during a relaxing catamaran ride.<\/p>\n

The island is great to visit year-round, which makes it a perfect lesbian vacation destination. We visited Puerto Rico in December and enjoyed the warm temperatures and island vibes.<\/p>\n

The capital city, San Juan, has quite a few LGBTQIA spots that are worth exploring. Some even call San Juan the gay capital of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t explored any other islands in the Caribbean, so we can\u2019t say anything about that title, but we can say that we felt welcomed in Puerto Rico, and we loved its capital San Juan!<\/p>\n

Good to know: Puerto Rico celebrates Pride in June and in December too, with a winter Pride!<\/p>\n

As Washington State’s largest city, it’s a very LGBTQIA-friendly destination. The LGBTQ laws in the state are among the best in the United States.<\/p>\n

The island is known for its relaxed vibes and for being very tolerant and welcoming.\u00a0It\u2019s also the southernmost point of the mainland United States and only 90 miles from Cuba.<\/p>\n

Back to the West Coast!\u00a0California is known for being a welcoming, progressive, and overall LGBTQIA-friendly state. And\u00a0San Francisco, in the north of the state, is a beautiful city that has much to offer. A must-see is of course the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Chicago<\/figure>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Another place on this list of USA lesbian vacation destinations that\u2019s perfect for a city trip is Chicago.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed the Windy City, Chicago is an amazing Midwestern city that has lots to offer: Think fun things to do, friendly people, and a thriving LGBTQIA scene. There are two gay neighborhoods in Chicago: Northalsted and Andersonville.<\/p>\n

Northalsted was previously known as Boystown, but since that name wasn\u2019t very inclusive, and since the place isn\u2019t just for boys, its name changed!\u00a0Boystown\/Northalsted was the first officially recognized LGBTQIA community in the United Stated. It\u2019s the place to be for LGBTQIA nightlife in Chicago, but also for food and drinks during the day.<\/p>\n

Andersonville has the nickname Girlstown, as it\u2019s the lesbian leaning counterpart. The neighborhood is a lot smaller, but is also fun to explore! It has many trendy caf\u00e9s, shops, and restaurants. Make sure top stop at Women and Children First Bookstore; it\u2019s a lesbian-founded bookstore where you can buy LGBTQIA titles.<\/p>\n

Other must-see spots in Chicago are Cloud, Gate in Millennium Park (aka the Bean), The Skydeck at Willis Tower, and a stroll along the Chicago River. The city also boasts outstanding art and theater scenes.\u00a0Also make sure to eat Chicago-style deep-dish pizza while you’re in town!<\/p>\n

Austin, Texas<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"Austin<\/figure>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Austin is not like the rest of Texas. The state, overall, is conservative and not as welcoming or accepting. Its capital city is a whole different story, however. Austin is liberal, progressive, and has a visible LGBTQIA community. Austin is the perfect city trip destination for your lesbian vacation!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There isn\u2019t just one gayborhood in the city, you can find the community all over Austin. The city is\u00a0known as the “Live music capital of the world,” and has two major music festivals that attract many people: Austin City Limits and South by Southwest (SXSW).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Portland, Oregon<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"Portland<\/figure>\n

Over 5% of Portland\u2019s population identifies as queer. That\u2019s a lot higher than the average in the United States. So of course, Portland has to be included between these other great US lesbian vacation destinations.<\/p>\n

Many members of the LGBTQ community move to Portland to live.<\/p>\n

And Portland is definitely a fun city to visit! Something we Dutchies love about Portland is that the city is very bicycle friendly. Many people bike here. The city has been rated best cycling city in America and best walking city in America in the past.<\/p>\n

The city is home to many queer events like the Portland Film Festival and Portland Pride Festival, so if you can combine your visit with a queer event, we highly recommend it.<\/p>\n

Northampton, Massachusetts<\/h2>\n

And last but not least on this list with USA lesbian vacation destinations: Northampton.<\/p>\n

Northampton is in Massachusetts, also known as Lesbianville, a title that was given to this town many years ago. It\u2019s arguably the best place in the United Sates for lesbians, especially to live in.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a small town, so there isn\u2019t a lot to do, but the Northampton is famous for its free-spirited hippie vibes, being an academic town that has multiple universities, and is an artistic and music hub. The best part: It’s full of lesbians!<\/p>\n

Go on a day trip to Northampton from Boston or New York City (around a 3-hour drive) or decide to stay a couple days to fully enjoy Lesbianville.<\/p>\n
