Sandy Shores

Sandy Shores is an unincorporated community located along the Alamo Sea in the heart of Blaine County, San Andreas. Known for its arid climate, rural character and eccentric locals, it provides services for surrounding desert areas.

History

Originally founded in the late 1800s as a railroad stop, Sandy Shores saw activity surge during the 1920s Alamo Sea dam construction. But declines followed until the town reinvented itself as a gambling resort town in the 1960s.

When Blaine County outlawed gambling in 1992, Sandy Shores weathered hard times again. Its isolation attracted outcasts and outlaws seeking refuge until meth labs and biker gangs filled the void. Authorities still grapple with black markets thriving in the remote area.

Sandy Shores retains its lightly populated, barren landscape. A boneyard, trailer parks and scattered houses dot the desert scrubland. The core town consists of basic shops and services along a short main street.

The economy relies on passing motorists stopping for gas, the Yellow Jack Inn bar, and local industries like cooking methamphetamine and other drugs. Some residents endeavor in legitimate businesses, though crime persists.

Locals take pride in their renegade attitude far from Los Santos regulations. Nights bring ghostly echoes across the Alamo Sea's lifeless desert shores. For outsiders, Sandy Shores' desolation harbors unease, yet many call it home.
