Caribbean Summer Filming Locations
Part of Hallmark’s ‘Summer Nights,’ ‘Caribbean Summer’ was filmed primarily in the Caribbean country of Belize. Principal photography for the movie took place in March and April 2022. Let’s get to know about the location in a bit more detail.
Placencia, Belize
‘Caribbean Summer’ was filmed in Placencia, a small village in Stann Creek District, Belize. Located at the southern tip of the eponymous peninsula, the eastern part of Placencia is home to a long expanse of white sand beach. The beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea was used as a backdrop for several scenes in the movie. The actors enjoyed working in the village as they explored and learned more about the local culture and sites.
Before the European colonization, the Placencia Peninsula was home to the Maya, who produced and traded salt. The place was named by the Spaniards that traveled the southern coast of Belize. Initially, Placencia was called Placentia, while the southern point was named Punta Placentia, or Pleasant Point. In the late 20th century, the region became a prominent tourist hub and continues to attract visitors. One can enjoy whale shark watching during the full moon every year between April and July. Other popular activities in the area include kayaking, snorkeling, diving, and saltwater fly fishing.
