Port Gellhorn vs the Florida Panhandle

Port Gellhorn appears inspired by the older beach and port towns along Florida's Gulf Coast and Panhandle. Many of those places grew around tourism decades ago and now mix motels and beach bars with quieter, struggling main streets.

Rockstar describes Port Gellhorn as a forgotten coast where the good times have passed. That matches the trailer footage of run-down strips and working-class neighborhoods. Rockstar has not tied it to a single real city, so we treat this comparison as an inspiration rather than a one-to-one match, and will add specific examples after launch.
