Venetian Islands in Real Life: Venetian Islands, Miami Beach, Florida

confirmed
| Aspect | In GTA VI | In real life |

| Setting | Residential islands in Biscayne Bay per community maps | Palm-lined residential streets ringed by bay water |
Confirmed GTA VI lists include the Venetian Islands by name, and no invention is needed: the real Venetian Islands are a chain of six artificial islands — Biscayne, San Marco, San Marino, Di Lido, Rivo Alto and Belle Isle — laid out in the 1920s along the Venetian Causeway.
The causeway is the draw for visitors: the oldest route across Biscayne Bay, low bridges hopping island to island, with runners and cyclists sharing the view of Downtown’s towers on one side and Miami Beach on the other.
How much of the chain appears in-game, and under what detail, is TODO to verify at release.

The Venetian Causeway (small toll) links Downtown Miami to Miami Beach across the islands; from MIA it is a 20-minute drive, and the causeway is popular with cyclists and runners.
