Universal studios? We on the Cape all knew the shark was fake..

Native Cape Codder here. Truth is I swam in the ocean in the 70’s and 80’s. (swimming lessons in the Atlantic are chilly!) We never worried about sharks. This is a recent problem.

The town scenes were filmed in Edgartown, MA.(east side of Martha’s Vineyard) This is where you see all the white houses and picket fences.

Most of the water shark scenes were filmed on the west end of Martha’s Vineyard in and around the town of Menemsha, MA.

When they take the water ferry boat across the harbor, I believe they were going over to Chappaquiddick Island. Made famous by the swimmer Ted.
