Overview

Vespucci Beach is the beachfront neighbourhood at the heart of western Los Santos. It is not the same thing as the wider Vespucci district, which also includes Vespucci Canals and, depending on the map convention used, Puerto Del Sol. Vespucci Beach itself covers the sandy waterfront, the long promenade, the beachside commercial strip, recreational areas and the dense blocks immediately behind them. The district borders Del Perro to the north, Vespucci Canals to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west.

It is one of Los Santos’s most recognisable tourist areas, combining a busy public beach with a slightly run-down urban edge. Story missions use the contrast effectively: visitors see exercise equipment, performers, shops and lifeguards, while Franklin’s early work takes him into garages and gang territory only a short distance from the promenade.
