33 Vice Beach is the barrier island beach area sitting east of mainland Vice City in Grand Theft Auto VI, within Vice-Dale County. It is the resort and nightlife side of the metropolitan area, a strip of sand, Art Deco hotels and waterfront development separated from the mainland by the bay.

55 Where the Name Comes From
66  
77 Vice Beach is attested in the game by its own police force. The Vice Beach Police Department appears on marked vehicle liveries in official screenshots, which is what establishes the area name rather than any map or written description. A Vice Beach flag also flies beside the entrance of Hotel Dixon, next to the Leonida state flag. Rockstar has not published a district map of the beach area, so the internal boundaries are not settled.

910 This matters for anyone reading across the wiki's location pages. The name "South Beach" used on some of them is real-world convention borrowed from Miami Beach rather than a name Rockstar has used, and it should not be read as an in-game district name. See South Beach for that distinction.

2324 Vice City has appeared in the series before, and the beach area carries several returning names. Nothing on this page describes a previous game's version of these places. Only what Rockstar has shown or written for Grand Theft Auto VI is recorded here, and the layout, businesses and interiors of the earlier Vice City should not be assumed to carry over.
