Netflix’s Four Seasons Season 2 Showcases the Jersey Shore: Point Pleasant Beach & Ocean Grove Shine on the Big Screen

The Jersey Shore is officially stepping into the spotlight once again. Season 2 of the hit Netflix series Four Seasons, now streaming as of May 28, 2026, featured several iconic New Jersey Shore locations throughout Episodes 3 and 4 — giving viewers across the country a cinematic glimpse into two of the Shore’s most beloved coastal communities: Point Pleasant Beach & Ocean Grove.

For locals, the scenes may have looked very familiar. For everyone else, the episodes served as a stunning showcase of why New Jersey is rapidly becoming the “Hollywood of the East.”

Point Pleasant Beach Takes Center Stage in Four Seasons

Throughout Episodes 3 and 4, viewers were treated to vibrant scenes filmed in the heart of Point Pleasant Beach. The production prominently featured the famous, including recognizable shots of:

• Jenkinsons Boardwalk
• Martell's Tiki Bar
• Classic boardwalk games of chance
• Local shops and attractions
• Theme park rides and amusements
• Sweeping beach and ocean views
• The nonstop energy of a busy Jersey Shore boardwalk

The cinematography captured everything that makes Point Pleasant Beach such a unique destination — colorful lights, ocean breezes, family attractions, nightlife, and the unmistakable atmosphere that defines summer at the Jersey Shore.

Ocean Grove’s Historic Charm Featured Throughout the Episodes

Equally impressive were the scenes filmed in nearby Ocean Grove. Known for its Victorian architecture and peaceful coastal beauty, the town provided a picturesque contrast to the energy of the boardwalk scenes.

The episodes featured:

• Stunning beach and ocean shots
• Views of the historic Cross Pier
• The iconic Great Auditorium
• The colorful homes and scenic walkways along Ocean Pathway
• Quiet residential streets and charming coastal scenery

Ocean Grove’s timeless aesthetic helped create a cinematic backdrop that feels both nostalgic and uniquely East Coast — one of the many reasons productions continue choosing New Jersey Shore towns for major film and television projects.

What Viewers Don’t See: The Massive Economic Impact of Filming

While Episodes 3 and 4 combined for roughly one hour of total screen time, the amount of planning, labor, and local coordination required to produce those scenes was enormous.

Filming reportedly took place over a two-week period and involved:

• Public spaces and municipal coordination
• Local restaurants and businesses
• Private homes used for filming
• Housing accommodations for cast and crew
• Restaurants and catering
• Parking for production trucks and equipment
• Base camp staging areas
• Hair and makeup trailers
• Holding areas for background actors and extras
• Security, transportation, logistics, and support staff

For the surrounding communities, productions like this inject hundreds of thousands of dollars into the local economy in a very short period of time. Local businesses benefit directly, property owners gain new opportunities, and the region receives national exposure that can continue generating tourism long after filming wraps.

This is exactly why New Jersey’s rapidly expanding film industry has become such a major topic statewide. With Netflix, Lionsgate, Paramount, and additional studios investing heavily in New Jersey, residents are beginning to see firsthand what it truly means for the state to evolve into the next major East Coast production hub.
