Oyster Locations Map & Guide
In previous GTA games, players collected Hidden Packages to unlock money and weapons. GTA San Andreas is significantly larger than its predecessors and introduces a plethora of new collectible types.
There are 250 collectible items altogether and 50 of them are oysters which can be found in the waters all around the state of San Andreas.
I strongly recommend you work through the oysters in numerical order and don't skip ahead so that you can check them off as you go. It's very time consuming go through every location again to find one you've missed.
