Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive is the easternmost street in Vice City that runs along Ocean Beach and Washington Beach in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The street is basically a long stretch of road that runs from the north near Standing Vice Point in southern Vice Point, all the way to the south at Maison Wenifall and an unnamed fountain in southern Ocean Beach.

Description
Ocean Drive is analogous to the real-life Ocean Drive in South Beach, Miami, being a street running between a grassy partition, a walkway and the vast Vice City beach to the east, and a predominantly Art Deco and Streamline Moderne urbanscape to the west; the Ocean Beach lighthouse is just east off the southern end of Ocean Drive.

Being in close proximity to a well known beach, it is not uncommon for the player to encounter swimsuit-clad pedestrians in the day and contemporary party attires at night along the road. Skating pedestrians also frequent paved areas along the street, and strolling lifeguards were added in GTA Vice City Stories.

Landmarks
There are large numbers of landmarks dotted along Ocean Drive, most being Art Deco and Streamline Moderne hotels, cafes and restaurants on the west side, reflecting the aesthetics of the real-life Ocean Drive. However, the vast majority of these buildings are non-interactive or have no interiors; only two buildings in GTA Vice City are exceptions. The vast majority of buildings along Ocean Drive are retained in GTA Vice City Stories, but were cosmetically retouched, with the names of buildings omitted.
