The Summer I Turned Pretty was shot in different locations around Wilmington, North Carolina.
Part of the shooting by the sea was also at Cape Fear in Southport. The beautiful beach house in which the family is staying is a massive home at Porter's Neck Plantation, a privately owned and closed golf course in Wilmington. The second season of The Summer I Turned Pretty has already started shooting in the same place.
Is Cousins Beach real?
No, it’s not; the show is set in the fictional coastal town of Cousins Beach. So the establishment shot of coastal areas looks like Cape Cod, Massachusetts, or the Hamptons on Long Island.
What are the other Filming Locations?
One of the key locations in the show is Cape Fear Country Club in Wilmington. Scenes such as the debutante ball and the swimming pool scenes are filmed here.
The beach scene from the show was filmed at the south end of Wrightsville.
The volleyball tournament in episode six is not located on the beach. Instead, it was filmed at Capt'n Bill's Backyard Grill, in the northern neighborhood of Wilmington.
What is the premise of The Summer I Turned Pretty?
There is nothing like an adorable rom-com to break our hearts, and we have it abundantly with the new series The Summer I Turned Pretty.

What are the other works of Jenny Han (writer of the novel “The Summer I Turned Pretty”)?

The novel has two sequels, “P.S.I Still Love You” and “Always Forever Lara Jean.” Netflix launched the film adaptation of the book in 2018. In addition, she recently announced she would launch the spin-off show, “XO, Kitty”, in which she takes charge as executive producer and co-showrunner.

The upcoming season will follow the events in Jenny's second book; It's Not Summer Without You. We expect some changes, as have been done in season one.
