hellport
tucked along the rugged coastline of town, hellport is a neighborhood stuck between two worlds. on the south end, fisherman, boat rental companies and other hardworking residents of hell have put down deep roots here. hellport's southern shoreline is dotted with battered fishing boats, rusting docks, and the unmistakable scent of brine and diesel fuel. generations of fishermen call this place home, their lives tied to the sea as tightly as their nets to the boats. the main drag runs through the heart of the coast, lined with aging diners, bait shops, no-frills bars, and a string of cheap motels catering to drifters, anglers, and the occasional offbeat tourist looking for something more real than resort brochures.

but just to the north, a different world emerges! gleaming beach houses with panoramic views, gated communities, and boutique hotels where the prices are as high as the views are breathtaking. the contrast is stark: hellport is where the real ocean life happens, while its northern neighbor polishes a postcard version of the coast. despite its rough edges, there's a magnetic authenticity to hellport.
