Logically, you\u2019d assume they filmed \u201cOuter Banks\u201d in, well, the Outer Banks of North Carolina. But not so fast! Surprisingly, the series set in a coastal town along the Outer Bank isn\u2019t even filmed in North Carolina! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series makers originally planned to shoot the series in Wilmington, North Carolina<\/a>. However, due to inclusivity concerns<\/a>, Netflix chose to shoot the series in Charleston, South Carolina<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the names in the series still reference places in North Carolina even though they didn’t film the show there. According to the Outer Banks of North Carolina tourism page<\/a>, the main setting of the series (Kildare Island) is a homage to a real Outer Banks county (Dare County) mixed with the name of one of the Outer Banks towns (Kill Devil Hills).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiara\u2019s parents’ restaurant \u201cThe Wreck\u201d is surprisingly similar to the real-life version of the restaurant. It’s \u201cThe Wreck of the Richard and Charlene\u201d in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. While you won\u2019t meet Kiara and her family when you eat here, you will get to experience a restaurant scene that feels pretty familiar to the show! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene website<\/a>, the restaurant got its name after a derelict North Atlantic-style trawler that was washed up onto the site where the restaurant now sits. Head there to enjoy some of the tastiest low-country cuisine while enjoying gorgeous ocean views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
