Though the film is set on the fictional Gloucester Island, Massachusetts, most of it was filmed along the stunning northern California coast, particularly in Mendocino, Fort Bragg, and Westport. Surprisingly, many of the exact filming locations have remained unidentified - until now. I took on the challenge of tracking them down and submitting them to the SetJetters movie scene location app. In this blog, I reveal how I uncovered the final scene’s exact filming location and how you can visit it yourself.
