Port Gellhorn in GTA 6: Leonida’s forgotten coast

Short answer: Port Gellhorn is a run-down beach town on Leonida’s Gulf Coast, based on Florida’s faded Panhandle resort towns. Rockstar’s tagline is “Live Hard”: the tourists are gone and the local economy runs on malt liquor, painkillers and truck-stop energy drinks.

What Port Gellhorn is like

Port Gellhorn used to be a popular holiday spot. Now it is what Rockstar calls Leonida’s forgotten coast: cheap motels, shut-down attractions and strip malls with empty units. It is GTA 6’s take on the small-town America that Rockstar likes to satirise, a bit like Sandy Shores in GTA V but by the sea.
