Star Island and the Flagler Memorial Monument
Star Island and the Flagler Memorial Monument (Biscayne Bay) is thought by fans to be one of the real places behind Vice City in Grand Theft Auto VI. A private, gated island of celebrity mansions off the MacArthur Causeway, with the 1920 Flagler obelisk on a small islet to the north.A guess
In the game
A jet-ski scene past waterfront villas with a white obelisk behind, and a causeway sign for 'Starfish Island', have been matched to Star Island and Monument Island by community mappers.
Visiting
Star Island is private; see it from a Biscayne Bay sightseeing boat from Bayside Marketplace (paid). Check opening hours and fees with the place before you go.

Who makes the match: mapheist.com, leonidatours.com, miamigtatours.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.
