Let’s find out where the film sets in and what were the actual locations of filming.
Where was Moriah’s Lighthouse filmed?
Moriah’s Lighthouse was filmed at the same location where the plot sets in, that is in Brittany, France inside the Western Europe.
According to IMDb, filming of the movie began in March 2022 and wrapped in April 2022.
Moriah’s Lighthouse location
The lighthouse that Moriah wants to restore in the film is Ploumanac’h Lighthouse located in a commune named Perros-Guirec inside the Côtes-d’Armor department of Brittany.
Officially known as the Mean Ruz Lighthouse, it’s an active lighthouse but is closed for the public.
The lighthouse was first constructed in 1860 and was destroyed by German troops in 1944 and then it was replaced by another lighthouse in 1946 that exists today.
Its design was planned by Henry Auffret and built by a local construction company, Martin et frère.
Hotel Castel Beau Site
The hotel in which Moriah resides is Hotel Castel Beau located at 137 Rue Saint-Guirec in the Perros-Guirec commune.
It is one of the most popular hotels of Brittany for tourists due to its ideal location in front of the beach and is rated 4.3 out of 5 stars on various tourism sites.
Perros-Guirec has been a seaside resort since the end of 19th century and is known for its sandy beaches, water sports, and pink granite rocks of varied shapes and patterns.
Unlike Hallmark’s Caribbean Summer that highlights island village, this Hallmark film features hotels and seaside scenes.
L’Île Renote and Jentilez
Moriah and Ben take a boat ride around the islands located off the coast of Ploumanac’h. The islands provide tranquil atmosphere and a stunning setting for the movie’s romantic moments.
Behind the scenes
The cast members shared that the filming was done in challenging weather conditions, including strong weights and low temperatures. Even though, the environment wasn’t film friendly, the crew managed to shoot the scenes in the way they wanted.
Exec producer and his wife drove over 3200 miles to check out the lighthouse which was chosen by his wife. Serena Miller participated in a Q&A section on the Hallmark Facebook Group and revealed her excitement to see the soaring pictures from the drone.
