If you're currently watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, you've already, perhaps unknowingly, seen Wrightsville Beach. This charming North Carolina beach town and barrier island is a popular filming location, and the Jenny Han-created show shot some of its most iconic scenes here. That uncomfortable dinner in the third season where (spoiler alert) Belly and Jeremiah announce their engagement? It was filmed at the Oceanic, the town's only restaurant located directly on the beach.
The Bachelor in Paradise 2025 filmed at the Azura Beach Resort in Costa Rica, representing a significant shift from its usual filming location in Mexico. Showrunner Scott Teti described the hotel as more upscale and sexy chic, enhancing the series' aesthetic.
The series follows Coop (Hamm), an out-of-work single dad who turns to robbing his wealthy neighbors of their priceless items to support his kids' lifestyle.
