How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The narrow district between Ocean Beach and Vice Point, home to the Washington Mall and a police station.

The real place

Mid-Beach is the part of Miami Beach between South Beach and North Beach, known for big Collins Avenue resort hotels such as the Fontainebleau. Fan wikis link Washington Beach to this middle section and suggest the name comes from Washington Avenue, although that street actually runs through South Beach.

Visiting

The beachfront boardwalk behind the Mid-Beach hotels is good for a walk or a cycle. Public beach access points are signposted off Collins Avenue.
