Wilmington, United States
The scene : Heart of the shoot: principal photography runs from April 27 to June 26, and it is the shops and natural landscapes of Wilmington that serve as Cousins Beach, the fictional seaside resort of the story — the bakery where Belly looks for her wedding cake, the farm from the famous fishing scene, or the access points that open onto the wooded paths leading to the ocean, all settings of the saga that the source situates in the metropolitan area without ever naming them.
Southport, United States
Public pier of the city of Southport, wooden and on stilts, extending into the Cape Fear estuary from Bay Street at the foot of Howe Street. Municipal facility with free access, adjacent to the waterfront park, and the starting point of the Riverwalk trail.
The scene : The public dock of Southport features the water scenes: the production shoots the sequences for "Cousins Water Taxi" here, and the seaside of the small town, along with Wilmington, creates the Cousins Beach of the story.
Plymouth, United States
The scene : For a scheduled shooting day from noon to 11 PM, the municipality closed Main Street to traffic: downtown Plymouth was dressed up as Cousins Beach on a July 4th evening, complete with patriotic floats.
Plymouth, United States
The scene : Also closed for the entire shooting day, Court Street extends the set north of the historic center, dressed up for the occasion in the colors of a national holiday at Cousins Beach.
Plymouth, United States
The scene : The only street that had been closed only in the evening, from 8 PM to 11 PM, Leyden Street provided the nighttime slice of this shooting day in central Plymouth transformed into Cousins Beach.
Chapel Hill, United States
The scene : The film leaves the coast for student life: the university scenes were shot on the historic campus of Chapel Hill, on the north side.
Chapel Hill, United States
The scene : The artery bordering the campus served for the exterior shots of the university segment: the source places the takes between Franklin Street and the north of the campus, without specifying a number.
