Vice Beach and Ocean Drive

Vice Beach is the beach district of GTA 6's Vice City, and its neon-lit strip of Art Deco style hotels looks like Rockstar's modern take on Ocean Drive. It is the postcard image of the game: sand, palm trees, sports cars and crowds that never seem to go home.

Vice Beach is confirmed. The exact name and layout of its main strip are our best reading of the trailers, so treat street names as likely rather than final. The interactive map shows the Vice Beach landmarks spotted so far.

What is Vice Beach in GTA 6?

Vice Beach is part of Vice City, the main city of Leonida. It is modelled on Miami Beach, with a long sandy shoreline, pastel buildings and a busy waterfront road. The trailers show it by day packed with sunbathers and by night lit up in pink and blue neon.

Is Ocean Drive in GTA 6?

Ocean Drive was a famous street in the original 2002 Vice City, and the GTA 6 beachfront looks very similar in spirit. We expect a returning or reimagined Ocean Drive style strip, but Rockstar has not confirmed the street name. Our Ocean Drive at night guide covers what to look for after dark.

What has been shown on the beachfront?

From the official trailers and screenshots, the Vice Beach area includes:

• Crowded sand with volleyball, sunbathers and people filming each other.
• Hotels and bars with bright neon signs.
• Sports cars and motorcycles cruising the strip.
• Street life and parties that feed the in-game social media clips.

What can you do in Vice Beach?

We expect Vice Beach to be the go-to spot for nightlife, shopping and showing off. Clubs and bars tie into our GTA 6 nightlife page, and the beachfront looks ideal for jet skis, cruising and photo modes. If GTA 5 is any guide, there will be gyms, clothing stores and food stands along the strip.

Is Vice Beach the same as the 2002 game?

Not exactly. The original Vice City captured Miami Beach in the 1980s, while GTA 6 shows a present-day version with phones, influencers and much bigger crowds. The pastel buildings and neon glow carry over, but the scale and detail are a big step up. Fans of the old game should still recognise the mood straight away, and our Vice City history page explains how the city has changed.
