White sea foam, purple sea stars, surfboards, tree trunks the size of houses—these are just a few of the images that come to mind. The tree’s scaly bark tells stories of centuries past, while its charming local shops and broken clocks complement the slow pace of present life.

Location Base is proud to offer a variety of filming locations on the island to accommodate your next creative project.
