The filming of the adventure thriller Netflix series Outer Banks, popularly known as OBX, took place in and around Charleston, South Carolina.
Even though co-creator Jonas Pate’s heart is in North Carolina, he and his team supported Netflix's decision to shift production approximately 500 miles to South Carolina. This was due to the anti-LGBTQ North Carolina Home Bill 2, which made it mandatory for transgender people to use the public washrooms corresponding to their sex assigned at birth. Season one kicked off on May 1, 2019, in Charleston, South Carolina. The second season opened on August 31, 2020, and ended on April 2, 2021.
Where was Outer Banks season one filmed?
Season one is shot south of the Outer Banks in Charleston, South Carolina. The water scenes were shot at Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant. The Wreck, which is the place where Kiara works during the show, is, in fact, an actual place in Mount Pleasant known as the wreck of Richard and Charlene. Additional sites used are Pitt Street, Hunting Island, Hunting Island Lighthouse, and Lowndes Grove.
The Kildare County Sheriff Station, the street devastated by the storm of episode two, and the fake Sandy Point Surf Shop are all situated on Pitt Street. Sarah Cameron's family home is Lowndes Grove, a historic plantation residence constructed in 1786, which is located at 266 St Margaret St in Charleston; the seigneurial house is now used for weddings and events. The 14-acre property overlooking the Ashley River is within easy reach of the Citadel and Hampton Park. The swamp zone where the gang found the wreck aboard HMS Pogue was filmed at Lighthouse Creek near Morris Island.
Where was Outer Banks season two filmed?
In the first episode of season two, The Gold, JJ works at a beach club shot at the Seabrook Island Club. Every scene that took place in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, was shot on another Caribbean island: Barbados. The first scenes after the boat landed and the streets of the city were filmed in the Careenage neighborhood in Bridgetown. The pink hotel where Sarah and John attempt to spend the night is the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, a five-star resort near Holetown.
Other locations used include Chamberlain Bridge in Downtown Bridgetown, Royal Westmoreland Barbados, Holetown Police Station, the massive 1,546-foot long Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, Edmondston-Alston House at High Battery, Eternal Father Of The Sea Chapel in North Charleston, Guerin's Pharmacy on Main Street in Summerville, and the Saint Thomas Church near the Wando River in Cainhoy, Berkeley County.
