Santa Maria Beach
Santa Maria Beach is a district to the south-west of the city centre of Los Santos, and is controlled by the Grove Street Families. Carl Johnson owns a home in the area, although he primarily lives in the Johnson House in Ganton. The beach is based on the real-life Santa Monica Beach.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Santa Maria Beach plays a relatively small role in the storyline of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Santa Maria Beach features during the Life's a Beach mission, where Carl Johnson steals a sound van for Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross. Frank Tenpenny sends Carl to follow and kill an informant, who goes to the end of the pier in Santa Maria Beach. During the mission Carl also dances with the DJ. Santa Maria Beach also appears during the mission Cut Throat Business, where Carl Johnson and Madd Dogg chase OG Loc across parts of Los Santos and Flint County. Santa Maria Beach is also the starting point for the triathlon events that take place in Los Santos.
