Where the Leonida Keys sit on the GTA 6 map
On community maps, the Leonida Keys arc southwest from the bottom of the mainland below the Grassrivers wetlands, separating the shallow bay waters from the open ocean just as the Florida Keys do in real life. The overseas highway leaves the mainland near the southern town of Hamlet, crosses first onto Key Lento in the upper Keys, and hops island by island down to the westernmost cays and sandbars.
Island bars, marinas, and dangerous waters
Rockstar's Only in Leonida profile describes the Leonida Keys as a tropical archipelago where life "isn't flashy but it's easy": the dress code is casual, the bars are loaded, and the surrounding waters are some of the most beautiful and dangerous in all of America. Official screenshots show seaplanes skimming over turquoise channels, jet skis circling boat parties, and scuba divers swimming past coral reefs, sea turtles, and eels.
According to Rockstar's character profiles, Jason Duval ended up in the Keys after a stint in the Army, working for local drug runners. Brian Heder, "a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys," still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, and lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties as long as he helps with local shakedowns. Players who pick up the Ultimate Edition also receive a Dinka Enduro dirt bike and a Crest kayak parked at Jason's safehouse.
The Florida Keys and Overseas Highway
In Game Informer's cover story, Rockstar describes the archipelago as its take on the Florida Keys (as reported by VGC), and its long over-water spans recall the Seven Mile Bridge along U.S. Route 1. You can read more about how the islands connect to the rest of the state in our GTA 6 regions guide.
