Gulf of Mexico
LK · Leonida Keys Listed, not shown
The Gulf of Mexico is due to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI as the large body of water bordering the game's setting. It surrounds South Leonida and the Leonida Keys, placing the fictional state among the real American coastal states with Gulf shorelines.
Water wrapping South Leonida
The Gulf of Mexico is the large American Mediterranean sea that wraps South Leonida and the Leonida Keys in Grand Theft Auto VI's setting. Trailer and website imagery treat it as the open water body beyond Grassrivers mangroves, Keys stilts, and Gulf-facing Port Gellhorn shores.
It is geography, not a named dock or marina brand—players will meet it as coastline and boating water rather than a single POI pin.
Florida Gulf shoreline cue
Leonida joins the roster of U.S. coastal states with Gulf shoreline in the fiction. Pair Gulf-facing stretches with Atlantic-facing Vice Beach when reading regional weather, shipping, and fishing cues; Rockstar has not published a separate Gulf map layer name.
