Sandy Shores used to be a holiday destination but time has not been kind to the town. It has been reduced to being desolate and poor and only a handful of suspicious people live there. From drug addicts to gangsters, Sandy Shores has its fair share of people with questionable characters.

The toxicity of the Alamo Sea is said to be the cause of the pathetic condition of the town. Due to dumping of waste in the sea water and intense methamphetamine production, the town has been successful in driving tourists away. Now, the town is mainly infested with drug addicts.

One of the main protagonists of GTA 5, Trevor Philips, who is known for his love of drugs, owns a meth lab on the western part of the Sandy Shores.
