Welcome to the Emerald Coast. Located on the Gulf of Mexico in Northwest Florida, our beautiful area offers a mix of southern charm and tropical beauty that is unlike any other part of Florida.

We offer a variety of scenery that can double for many looks; country roads, white sand beaches, fishing village, farmland, wooded areas and bays and bayous dotted with boats, just to name a few. A number of productions have taken place here; among them, Paramount's "The Truman Show" and "Jaws II". Recent television, commercial and print shoots include Cartoon Network, Chaparral Boats, Turner South, Dillard's, Outdoor Life Network and more.

The Emerald Coast Film Commission is happy to assist you with permit information, location scouting, casting and any other needs you might have. Download the Emerald Coast Production Guide, with information on local crew, support and locations.
