47 Movies Filmed on Stunning Beaches You Should Visit
The Shallows (2016)
Where? Lord Howe Island, off New South Wales, Australia.
When to go? Visit from November until March for the best beach weather.
The film is about a young surfer (Blake Lively) who becomes stranded 200 yards away from shore after an enormous great white shark attacks her.
Mostly shot at Lord Howe Island which is 600 km (370 mi) directly east of mainland Port Macquarie. Along the west coast of Lord Howe Island there is a sandy semi-enclosed sheltered coral reef lagoon.
The Lord Howe Island has a Permanent Park Preserve covering about 70 per cent of the island. The surrounding waters are a protected region designated the Lord Howe Island Marine Park. Lord Howe Island is known for its geology, birds, plants, and marine life.
To relieve pressure on the small island environment only 400 tourists are permitted at any one time. Popular tourist activities include scuba diving, birdwatching, snorkelling, surfing, kayaking, and fishing. The island is reached by plane from Sydney or Brisbane in less than two hours.
Tip: Plan your trip now before the movie is released and booking becomes much harder!
