Seacrest County is a fictional setting where Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) takes place.

The rural Seacrest County is located along the West Coast of the United States has environmental attributes similar to that of Washington, Oregon and California. It is devoid of urban areas although scenic views and wide open roads await those who take their rides for a spin.

The police are the best of the best and are prepared to serve justice regardless of the speeds.

RegionsEdit

BeachEdit

The south section of Seacrest County consists of a beach and a highway that stretches through the area and into the eastern mountains. The setting includes palm trees, beach houses, shops and a waterfront fairground. The Beach area includes areas such as Mission Beach and Grand Ocean Road.

DesertEdit

The desert makes up the east area of Seacrest County. Barren deserts like the East Gorge Canyon and Three Point Road are scattered with desert foliage, mesas and rocks. An airfield, a fort ruins and a national park are among the attractions in the vast desert region.

MountainsEdit

The mountains are probably the largest region as it takes up most of the north and northeast Seacrest County. It consists of stunning sights such with the ice capped mountains, valleys and caves. The dangerously windy mountain roads pass through areas such as Eagle Crest and Fairview Road.

ForestEdit

The forest can be found in the centre of Seacrest County. Campsites and attractions line the roadside of the forest as well as locations like Fox Lair Pass and Big Timber Forest. Hairpins and sharp bends test a driver's drifting skills as well as shortcuts that help - or hinder - police pursuits.

LakeEdit

The Western region of Seacrest County consists of areas like Rockingham Point and Mystic Lake. Treacherous cliffside roads lined with helipads, country houses and tunnels run through this region. The Maplemount Country Houses is located off Lakeside Avenue.
