Firefly Island is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in southern Broker, Liberty City.
Description
It is bordered to the north by Crockett Avenue (Hove Beach), to the west by the Humboldt River, to the south by an unnamed body of water, and to the east by Shinnecock Avenue (Beachgate).
Despite being called an island, it is actually physically connected to the Broker mainland.
The Alexander Boardwalk separates the beach from the amusement park. The boardwalk runs from Mohawk Avenue to Shinnecock Avenue.
The amusement park is closed for the season during the game. Banners hung in the area also imply the area will be open in the summer, and Michelle commented during her first date with Niko Bellic that there was interest in developing the site, or turning it into a "Las Venturas-style theme park".
Other local businesses, however, such as a bowling alley and hot dog stands, still operate.
Influence
Firefly Island is based on New York's Coney Island.
