Port Gellhorn is a fading beach town on Leonida's coast. Rockstar's place page calls it “Leonida's forgotten coast”, under the tagline “Live Hard.”
“Cheap motels, shut-down attractions, and empty strip malls won't bring the tourists back,” it says, “but there's a new economy in this once-popular vacation spot. It's fueled by malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks. Jump on a dirt bike and hold onto your wallet.”
“Forgotten Coast” is also the real nickname of a stretch of Florida's Gulf coast in the Big Bend, which is the likeliest model.
