Where was TSITP filmed? From Cousins Beach IRL in North Carolina to Jenny Han’s alma mater
Yes, Cousins is fictional: much of the filming took place at Wilmington, North Carolina, where Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill were also shot
Adapted from Jenny Han’s teen romantic drama trilogy of the same name, the show follows Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her love triangle with brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. The show’s messy romance storyline and equally messy characters quickly grabbed fans since its first season premiered in 2022, with the internet often divided on which Fisher brother is better.
As the series and its cast members prepare to say goodbye to Cousins, here are all the iconic places the show was filmed – for fans who want to keep summer alive.
The town of Cousins
While the town may not be real, a majority of the beach town scenes were filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina – which has been the location for other teen dramas such as Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill.
Cousins Beach
The famed Cousins Beach is where many of the show’s pivotal scenes take place. These scenes were actually filmed in various locations in North Carolina, including Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach.
