In terms of scenery, Honolulu is nothing less than a knockout, but with its bevy of international cuisines, gay-friendly nightlife spots, and tucked-away natural assets, there’s more than meets the eye here. High-rise hotels and condo buildings fringe its postcard-perfect shoreline, with dominating Diamond Head off in the distance. This seaside metropolis is both the westernmost and the southernmost city in the United States, plus the remotest city of its size in the world. As the cosmopolitan capital of Oahu, the Hawaiian island that receives the lion’s share of tourism visits, Honolulu is a legend among gay travelers who don’t want to have to choose between urban adventures and beach vacations.
