New Pride Land is a multi-estate "continent" stretching from 953 to 961 vertically and 733 to 741 horizontally on the grid map. It was founded by Sterling Whitcroft principally as a home for gay residents, although all are welcomed. The continent consists of several regions.


Landmarks

Among major landmarks on New Pride Land is Boots' Beach AKA Mission Beach (one of Second Life's most populous and popular gay & lesbian social destinations). While owned by Shawn & Boots Mission , it moved from the Provincetown ACS continent in 2007. Most of the SIMs are residential, with parcels for both rental and purchase in a variety of planned and free-form environments.

Also on visitors' lists are the Ewing Arts Gallery and the Episcopal Chapel of St. Matthew-by-the-Sea on Olympos sim, the Mission Sea Promenade shopping area in Spice Islands sim, the Docklands urban build (Mission-Super-Mare) north of the promenade now after its move from ER Highlands sim, the ancient greek installation on Hylas or the medieval abbey ruin on the central island of Pallas sim.
