Location

Leonida Keys

The gateway to paradise

The Leonida Keys are GTA 6's tropical island chain, inspired by the Florida Keys: packed bars, a laid-back life and waters as beautiful as they are dangerous. Jason Duval lives here.

The Leonida Keys are a tropical island chain in southern Leonida, inspired by the Florida Keys. Rockstar pitches them as the gateway to paradise: crowded bars and a mandatory casual dress code.

Vibe

Life here is simple and easygoing. But look past the lounge chairs and cocktails: the islands sit on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful, and most dangerous, waters in America.

Smuggling country

The Keys lived through the golden age of smuggling, an era Brian Heder saw up close. The trafficker still runs a boat business here with his wife Lori. The Keys are also where Jason Duval works for local traffickers and lives in one of Brian's properties, and where his friend Cal Hampton listens in on Coast Guard communications.
