Filmed here

  • From Here to Eternity (1953)

    Warden and Karen’s kiss in the waves was filmed on the sand of the cove below.

  • Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

    The crew filmed at the cove in 2010 and it appears in the first trailer, but the strong currents meant the mermaid attack at Whitecap Bay was finished on a studio backlot in California.

Private land or a working building. Look from a public spot; please don’t go in.
