You'll find more water-adjacent land than anything else on the GTA 6 map. Let's break down the water systems by region.

For how the map breaks down into regions, see the regions explainer.

Coast

The beaches of Vice City. The Keys chain. Smaller barrier islands. Tens of miles of explorable coastline, judging by the trailers. The most prominent single type of water.

Wetlands

Everglades-coded landscape. Shallow standing water. Sawgrass. Cypress. Travel by airboat. Different from the coast in colour, depth and texture.

Rivers and inland waterways

Less prominent in trailers, but plausibly extensive. Rivers that flow into the wetlands; canals cutting through neighbourhoods in Vice City; the linking tidal channels.

Pools, marinas, urban water

Mansion pools. Hotel pools. Marina basins. Small urban water features. None of them matter by themselves; collectively, they help make the map seem lived-in.
