Outer Banks has become a household name among streaming audience after its release on Netflix on April 15, 2020. With its picturesque locations and exciting plot, the series has garnered a massive fan base in a short span of time. But, do you know its breathtaking visuals were shot? That’s what we will explore today. In this article, we will delve into the locations in and around the USA used by the creators to bring this treasure-hunting tale to life.

The Outer Banks is a long, narrow chain of peninsulas and barrier islands off North Carolina in the coastal United States. Interestingly, the show wasn’t completely shot in the Outer Banks itself. However, the creators chose various other locations that slightly resemble the town. Instead of creating a set on a large soundstage, the officials decided to implement real locations, which helped in giving the show a more authentic and natural feel.

The show primarily features the beach town of Kinston, North Carolina. It’s located more than hundred miles east of Raleigh, and locals know it as the twenty-first-century Skinner’s Bypass. If you weren’t aware, the show also has a real connection with the town. In the show, Kinston is referred to as Chapel Hill – this is where John B. was accepted to college. The creators also chose Wilmington, another town in North Carolina, for some of the show’s backdrops. Wilmington is home to the biggest sound stage in the USA. The EUE/Screen Gems Studio featured in the show is also utilized for other popular dramas like “The Conjuring 3” and “Swamp Thing.”

Apart from the above towns, the show was also at various locations along the East Coast US. The primary filming locations of Season 1 are Charleston, South Carolina, and Barbados. Charleston’s principal tourist attractiveness towards James Island — a suburb of Charleston on the east side of the Ashley River. Barbados, the most beautiful island in the Caribbean, features a variety of picturesque locations that will leave spectators agape. The lush green forest with coconut trees and the serene turquoise beaches proved to be a perfect fit for the occasion. The ‘Royal Pavilion Hotel’ and ‘The Crane Resort’ are prominent coastal locations featured in the series.

In season 2, the cast and crew moved to the Bahamas to film. The show’s new settings make the warm, sunny beaches of the Bahamas seem more appropriate for the second season. The officials decided to shoot at some of Nassau’s most refined and best-known locations, including some filming sites in the capital city. The team filmed at Albany, a resort that counts Justin Timberlake, Tiger Woods, and other celebrities as residents. Moreover, the brilliant conglomeration of gorgeous beaches in the series is sourced from various locations in the Bahamas, including Paradise Island and Eleuthera.

To sum up, Outer Banks’ breathtaking scenery is mainly sourced from various towns in North Carolina, the Bahamas, Charleston, and Barbados, blended into the show’s storylines and enriched the visuals. The series has beautifully portrayed some of the most exquisite locations across the country, leaving a trail of viewers who are mesmerized by the show’s visuals, naturalness, and authenticity. Watching the show is an even better experience when you can recognize the familiar landscape, and see them in action on screen.
