Florida’s Hidden Film Location You Haven’t Considered Yet
Think Miami. Think Palm Beach. Now imagine a place with the same looks—without the crowds, the traffic, or the overused backdrops.
We’ve scouted, shot, and produced all over the country, and Florida always delivers. But there’s one stretch of the eastern coastline that still surprises people: Martin County. As more people (and productions) push north from Miami and Palm Beach, this area—Stuart, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Hutchinson Island, Port Salerno, and Sewall’s Point—keeps showing up as the smarter option. Waterfront homes, classic beaches, and small-town charm are all here—just fresher, simpler, and a lot easier to work in.

Where You’ll Find the Looks
Stuart – A downtown with character: marinas, boardwalks, restaurants on the water, and plenty of sailboats in the background.
Palm City – Big acreage, golf courses, and properties with room to stage large scenes.
Hobe Sound – Wide, natural beaches and upscale homes that easily double for Palm Beach.
Jensen Beach – Laid-back surf town vibe with colorful cottages and beachfront restaurants that light up at sunset.
Hutchinson Island – Barrier island beaches, waterfront resorts, and long stretches of sand perfect for lifestyle campaigns.
Port Salerno – A working waterfront with marinas, seafood shacks, and a raw, authentic coastal vibe.
Sewall’s Point – A peninsula of high-end waterfront homes surrounded by the Intracoastal, perfect for elevated residential looks.
Why This Area Works for Production
Straightforward permitting – Quick approvals, easy to work with, no endless hoops.
Homes with variety – Key West-style cottages, Mediterranean villas, mid-century moderns, contemporary builds, and sprawling waterfront estates. Enough range to cover a full campaign in one county.
Authentic Florida nature – Palm groves, mangroves, oak canopies, ranch land, and quiet beaches that still feel untouched.
Fresh backdrops – Locations that haven’t been overshot. Distinct looks that feel new, not recycled.
Easy logistics – Just north of Palm Beach, with Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando all within reach. Regional airports, I-95, and Florida’s Turnpike keep gear and people moving without issue.
Local crew base – Experienced teams already in the area, with Miami and Orlando crews often traveling in and working as locals. Or, if you need more, we can hire and build the crew for you.
A Backdrop Built for Campaigns and Photoshoots
For brands, agencies, and art directors, this area offers a mix you don’t often find in one place: luxury waterfront, authentic small towns, natural Florida, and space to stage big ideas. It’s versatile enough to carry an entire campaign, and distinctive enough that your project won’t look like everything else shot in South Florida.
