Description

 
An arieal view of Ocean Drive and the neighbouring Washington Avenue.

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.
