The movie "I Know What You Did Last Summer" primarily takes place in the small town of Southport, North Carolina. Filming locations included Southport and nearby towns in North Carolina such as Burgaw and Currie. Some scenes were also filmed in northern California locations like Bodega Bay, Jenner (including Kolmer Gulch where the cliff and accident scenes were shot), and Schoolhouse Beach, which represent various settings in the film. To summarize:
- The town scenes are mostly Southport, North Carolina.
- The opening cliffs and car accident happened at Kolmer Gulch near Jenner, California.
- Other important spots like Julie's house, Barry's house, and the Amuzu Theatre are located in Southport, NC.
- Schoolhouse Beach in northern California was used for a campfire scene.
Thus, although the story is set in North Carolina, some iconic outdoor scenes were filmed in California as well.
