Newport Beach, a scenic coastal strip within Sydney's Northern Beaches, doubles as the main beach town in which the deadly accident occurs. Numerous daylight scenes, such as sun-kissed summer afternoons preceding the accident, were shot here. Its exposed coastline enhances the film's suspenseful cat-and-mouse chases.

White Bay, an industrial dockside district, was utilized for the more atmospheric, derelict dockyard scenes in which the fisherman stalks the group. The rough-hewn location adds to the tension for the nocturnal sequences.

Watson's Bay and Oatley both offered picturesque residential backgrounds. Watson's Bay's famous cliffs and sedate streets make appearances in several stalking sequences and character hideaways. Oatley's suburban atmosphere anchors the film's more mundane scenes, as the characters attempt to resume normal life despite sharing their secret.
