(I think there is some foreshadowing there. The building she was looking at towards the end of the episode is the hotel Jane was attacked at. Episode 6Ĭeleste’s new apartment is in the Del Monte Beach neighborhood. Like it’s on a soundstage and the Monterey views are kind of photoshopped in and blurred out a bit…. *Something looks weird with the Wharf restaurant. Monterey Airport- Where Celeste picks up her husband and kids. Episode 5īixby Bridge Lookout- This recently reopened but you can’t drive much farther south than that.īeach running with all three ladies on Del Monte Beach and Wharf trail.Ĭar Accident- This looks like the Coast Guard Pier parking lot. We don’t allow homes to be built on the actual beach…it is some kind of zoning/coastal commission thing. Madeline’s house is for sure not here in Monterey. The street looks a little too nice and wide to be around here. It looks like Jane’s house is in PG or New Monterey. It is a nice restaurant and it is super dog-friendly. The restaurant that the teacher and Jane meet at is Forge in the Forest. They had a nice restaurant back in the day… not sure if it is still there. The beach and hotel where Jane was attacked and running away from are in Seaside. The Marriott is the highest building and I don’t think it even reaches 15 floors. Renata’s husband’s office must be in San Jose or somewhere else. ? And, Frozen on Ice really is playing in San Jose right now! Episode 3 It’s like 5 miles from the wharf and we do have Uber. It hardly needs a driver to get from Monterey to there. I have to say they did get the geography correct in the area. The playhouse… This looks like Carmel High but I am not 100% sure. Or for a more laid-back vibe try Wave Street Studios or Cannery Row Brewing Co.īeach where Ed & Nathan have their argument? Lover’s Point. Episode 2īar with the firepits… that isn’t a real place here in town but if you like hanging by the fire with a glass of wine try Spanish Bay or the Lodge at Pebble Beach. So is Renata’s… I think.Ĭoffee Shop on the Wharf… In real life, it was shot on a sound stage but inspired by Paluca Trattoria on the wharf. If you are connected with me on Instagram it is the same walk Louis and I do every night.Ĭeleste’s House is in Carmel- The Carmel Highlands to be exact. This is an easy and beautiful walk from LP. School: The outside shots are not really in Monterey but another town in Southern California!ĭrive to School (the texting/driving event): Ocean View Boulevard just South of Lover’s Point. Lover’s Point is in my cover pic and it is a beautiful cove + walking path. Point Lobos is an amazing hike, with stunning views and secret coves… see more on a post I did on it. People actually have to be helicoptered in and out! They even did an airdrop of water and supplies for residents that can’t afford helicopters. Due to the recent storms HWY 1 is washed out in spots and is shut down for the time. Opening Credits: Bixby Bridge, HWY 1 Big Sur, Point Lobos, Lover’s Point, Wharf Bike Path, Coast Guard Pierīixby Bridge and HWY 1 are just south of Monterey and are actually no longer drivable. MONTEREY TOUR OF BIG LITTLE LIES SETTINGS Season 1 Episode 1 I will add to this Monterey Tour of Big Little Lies Settings as new episodes are released. Monterey is not really like it is portrayed in the show. The few weeks they were here filming it was a big deal around town.Ī ton of people are asking me if Monterey is really like that or if those spots/restaurants really exist so I thought I would put together a little travel guide for all things Monterey (the BLL version!). It is so exciting to see it take place in my hometown. Who else is watching Big Little Lies on HBO? I loved the book and so far the series is just as enjoyable.
