Waning Sands is a town featured in Grand Theft Auto VI. It is located in Leonard County, within the state of Leonida. First revealed in the game's initial trailer, it appears to be a suburban area notable for a large shopping mall. Its name is a likely reference to the real-world issue of beach erosion in South Florida.
