Vespucci Beach
Vespucci Beach is one of the many Locations in Grand Theft Auto V. Vespucci Beach is a neighborhood in Los Santos that is modeled after a combination of Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Vespucci Beach is also home to an open-air gym, Muscle Sands. ?Some history buffs may see the name "Vespucci Beach" and believe it to be named for the famous Italian explorer, navigator and cartographer Amerigo Vespucci. Who first demonstrated that what Columbus had discovered and thought to be Asia's eastern outskirts were, in fact, an entirely new land mass. ?However, this is a Grand Theft Auto game. ?The meanings behind location names are almost always named in a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion. ?Vespucci Beach is no exception. ? According to Urban Dictionary, "Vespucci is a pedophile paraphrase for oral sex." ?The definition behind the name could easily be either one of these definitions, but knowing Rockstar's humor, it's probably both.
