The Alamo Sea is a salt lake located in the middle of Blaine County, San Andreas. The Alamo Sea is the largest body of water located on the San Andreas mainland. The Alamo Sea is surrounded by Mount Chiliad to the north, Grapeseed to the northeast, Stab City to the west and Sandy Shores to the south.
It is described as "a putrid, salt-rich lake whose waters are unlikely to be home to anything you’d want to go fishing for". The sea is probably toxic, as it is described as being able to "burn through a man's lower intestine in seconds". Despite these claims, the player is able to wade and swim in the water freely. However, large amounts of trash and debris litter the shores of this lake, further hinting of how polluted the sea is. Many dead fish can be seen lining up the coastline.
According to a Weazel News radio report, hipsters have begun moving to the Alamo Sea area. They were bored and did not follow the local lifestyle, so the hipsters decided to start using drugs.
Influence
The Alamo Sea is based on the Salton Sea in Southern California. It is named after the Alamo River, which drains into the Salton Sea. Just like the real Salton Sea, it is very polluted and fish bones can be seen along the lake's shores. However, the shores of the Salton Sea are not inhabitated by rednecks; the opposite, the Coachella Valley by the lake is advertised as one of the most gay-friendly places in America.
