The colorful waterfront in downtown Willemstad — Mauricio Handler/National Geographic/Corbis
5. Curaçao
Tucked safely out of the path of hurricanes for more than 120 years, Curaçao is the rare Western Caribbean island that warmly welcomes LGBT visitors to its pink-and-white sand beaches. Among all the neighboring islands, it has the largest number of hotels that belong to the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association. That means that the front desk clerk at a major hotel won't do a double-take when you and your partner ask for a suite with a king-sized bed.
Curaçao draws a 50-plus crowd to its harborside capital, Historic Willemstad, named on UNESCO's World Heritage List for its pastel-colored, 17th- and 18th-century buildings. One mile to the east along Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard is Sea Aquarium Beach and its boardwalk, frequented by gays of all generations.
