MacArthur Causeway

MacArthur Causeway (Biscayne Bay (Downtown to South Beach)) is plainly one of the real places behind Vice City in Grand Theft Auto VI. The main six-lane causeway between downtown Miami and South Beach, passing PortMiami, Watson Island and Star Island.Clearly shown

In the game

The highway into the mainland with its overhead signs, a rider and a waving passenger; Trailer 1 puts a stadium where the real road passes the Perez Art Museum.

Visiting

Drive or take Miami-Dade bus routes across it (paid fare); the Perez Art Museum at its west end has the best bay view. Check opening hours and fees with the place before you go.

Close by

Who makes the match: axios.com, miamiherald.com, rockstarintel.com. Rockstar has never named the real places it modelled. Clearly shown: the place is plain to see in an official trailer and several comparisons agree. Likely: one solid side-by-side comparison. A guess: fans think so; nobody has shown it yet.

Grand Theft Auto VI is made by Rockstar Games. What's On Miami isn't affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, and shows no game footage or artwork: every match below comes from published comparisons of the official trailers, linked under each place. Vice City is fictional; the places are real, and some are private homes or businesses, so visit respectfully.
