Leonida Keys in GTA VI: the complete island guide

The Leonida Keys are GTA VI’s island escape: a Florida Keys-style chain of causeways, marinas, stilt homes and shallow turquoise water. It is also Jason Duval’s home turf, which makes it far more than a pretty backdrop.

What Rockstar has shown

• The Leonida Keys as a named region.
• Jason Duval living in the Keys.
• Brian Heder tied to Jason and the Keys.
• A long causeway-style road.
• Stilt homes and private docks.
• Boats, jet skis and marina imagery.
• A smuggling-flavoured tone around Brian Heder.

Rockstar has not published a full Keys map, island list, final road layout or activity checklist yet.

Causeways and roads

That long bridge footage is one of the most recognisable shots of the Keys. Expect causeway travel, narrow roads and water on both sides.

Still to be revealed:

• How many bridges there are.
• Whether the road is one main route or a branching chain.
• Exactly where Jason’s home sits.
• Whether any islands unlock through the story.

Our map shows fan-mapped routes until the full map is out.

Marinas and boats

The Keys are the best place on the map for water gameplay. Trailer footage and screenshots show enough boat culture to fill a map with:

• Marinas.
• Private docks.
• Causeway viewpoints.
• Boat spawns.
• Waterfront businesses.
• Shallow-water routes.

Our predictions: fishing, diving, treasure hunting and boat businesses. None has been announced yet.

Story links

The character links give the Keys real weight:

• Jason starts with a home base in the area.
• Brian Heder connects the Keys to smuggling and drug-running.
• The geography makes it easy to move between water routes and Vice City.

Expect the Keys to matter in the story. A full smuggling business system is still a prediction.

Wildlife and weather

Official footage shows a coastal and wetland mix: birds, shallow-water life and stormy coastal skies.

Rumour for now: manatees, dolphins, sharks, hurricane systems and specific fish species.

On our map

The Keys get their own map layer, with filters for:

• Causeway route.
• Marina.
• Dock.
• Stilt home.
• Boat access.
• In the trailers.
• Fan-mapped.
• Smuggling theory.

Launch-week checklist

When GTA VI releases on 19 Nov 2026, this page becomes a full island atlas:

• Every island name from road signs and the in-game map.
• Bridge names and route numbers.
• Boat spawn points.
• Screenshots of Jason and Brian-linked locations.
• Marinas sorted by use: fuel, shop, activity, mission or decoration.
• Collectibles and side activities.

Bottom line

The Leonida Keys are one of the most exciting parts of the map: sun, boats, smuggling and Jason’s backyard. The region and its look are official, and launch will fill in every island.
