Del Perro Pier is a location that most GTA Online fans will know quite well. The pier appears multiple times during the GTA 5 story mode during missions. It is also a location at the end of the game if Franklin chooses the third 'Deathwish' option in the last mission.
However, missions are not the only reason why GTA Online gamers go to Del Perro Pier. Some might even just enjoy it as a location, and go there to spend some time roaming around Los Santos.
This article aims to enlighten players about everything there is to know about the Del Perro Pier in GTA Online.
Del Perro Pier is the perfect place for a day out in GTA Online
The Del Perro Pier is closely modeled on the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, California. If gamers have never visited the pier, they will recognize it because of its likelihood to the Yacht Harbor in GTA San Andreas.
Much like its real-life counterpart, Del Perro Pier is loaded with businesses and activities. There is a closed aquarium and a carpark near the beach, and much more to see further down.
The pier houses the world-famous Pleasure Pier amusement park, where players can ride the Leviathan rollercoaster or take a relaxing spin on the Ferris wheel.
If players are not after the thrill of the rides, then they might walk to the very end of the pier to the viewing platform. There, they can look out over the Pacific Ocean through one of the telescopes, or just watch other pedestrians fishing or going about their business.
Players have access to the Sprunk and eCola machines on the pier, however, other snack machines and food vendors are not interactive. It is not possible to buy a hotdog from a cart or enter a restaurant for some food and drink.
Many players hope that a future update might open other facets of Del Perro Pier. The arcade, for example, could house many games and machines for fans to enjoy.
