Ocean Drive

The source frame, with Ocean Drive marked
Ocean Drive at dusk from the middle of the road: deco hotel fronts lit in orange, purple and cyan, NEPTUNE and BOARDWALK in blue neon, HOTEL DIXON in white vertical letters at the right, a turquoise convertible, the white car with the CH33TAH plate and a red sports car nose-in at the kerb, people on the pavement and between the cars

Trailer 1 · snt-00014 · 0:32.57 · usable frame · exterior · 3840 × 1620 px © Rockstar Games The whole frame at 3840 × 2160, scaled down to fit — never enlarged. The box marks the crop exactly as we measured it, and that crop is the detail alongside, at its true size.

Neon along the hotel strip, sports cars parked nose-in at the kerb and people on the pavement and between the cars. Ocean Drive is the street the series has been building towards for twenty years.

The frame is taken from the middle of the road looking down the strip at dusk. Deco hotel fronts are lit in orange, purple and cyan along the left. Three signs are legible: NEPTUNE at the far left, BOARDWALK in blue neon in the middle, and HOTEL DIXON in white vertical letters on the right, the top of it above this crop’s upper edge in the same frame. Further down, pink neon reads as a hotel name at an angle we cannot resolve.

Cars stand nose-in at an angle the whole length of the kerb: a turquoise convertible nearest the camera, a white Cheetah beside it with the CH33TAH plate on its tail, and a red sports car beyond. People are on the pavement and between the parked cars rather than in the carriageway, which is what this page claimed until 20 September 2026.

A second frame of the same promenade in daylight shows umbrellas, sunbathers and parked sports cars, so the street is photographed at both ends of the day.

How to recognise it

  • Deco facades lit in orange, purple and cyan
  • NEPTUNE, BOARDWALK and HOTEL DIXON all legible in the same frame
  • Cars parked nose-in at an angle along the kerb
  • The white Cheetah with its CH33TAH plate among them
  • Photographed both at dusk and in daylight

The frame it comes from

The frame is Trailer 1 at 0:32.57. It is 3840 by 2160, and the subject occupies 3840 by 1620 of it. Also in it: a cyan open-top sports car, '95 Grotti Cheetah, and a red fastback coupe with twin round lamps.

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

  • Whether the hotels along it are enterable
  • Whether the street has a different name in-game
  • Whether traffic density changes by time of day
  • Which of the parked cars are drivable
