Dear John
The falling-out over his father plays along this beach. No single spot is identified, so this is the end of the day rather than a mark to stand on. The county park at the east end is where to leave the car.
Stop 08 on Pier to Folly
Outer Banks
The Morris Island Lighthouse stands offshore at the east end, and is widely named as the Redfield Lighthouse. It is not. Netflix places the Redfield at Hunting Island, in Beaufort, and the scene has the pair walk up to it past a keeper, which nobody can do here: Morris Island is out in the water and reachable only by boat. This is the view, not the location.
Stop 10 on The Pogue Route
This page is the location. The tour is the day: which building is the one on screen, what was filmed there, the order that does not double back, and whether you can get in.
