North of Boston, MA is an incredibly diverse area.
With more than 200 miles of coastline, 12 lighthouses, parks, trails, and quintessential New England villages, it is no wonder that so many movies are filmed here. Over the years, the North Shore has become one of the most desirable settings for movies making their way to the big screen.
All the way from the 1930s to today, movies have been filmed locally on the North Shore, and are still widely successful, well-liked films. It’s easy to film when you have such a beautiful, nautical, New England scene to shoot. Capturing the New England foliage, oceanic views, and diverse coast lines is understandably what draws directors and filmmakers to the region.
