So I've been slowing powering my way through the Dexter tv series on Netflicks. . .

There is a shooting location on the beach (Deb's house on the beach in the later episode years of the series) where there are kites in the background. Anyone got any idea what location that is where the show was shot/where the riders are kiting?

Gman, this is up your alley for sure.

Thx.

Long Beach, California and specifically my local beach Belmont Shores. Certainly not Florida. Filming in the area always used to screw up beach parking so somewhat unwelcome.

Good info! Also good to know I'm not the only one that got excited seeing kites in the background during those episodes.

You think that's bad...I'm addicted to watching stupid HGTV Channel (BeachFront Bargain Hunt, Caribbean Life, Hawaii Life) just to watch the background for kites....LOL.
The Cabarete episode was awesome...right on Kite Beach...
Thank goodness for DVR's...

DOH!!

I remember watching Burn Notice (which is based in Miami) and seeing kiters all the time during those quick shots between scenes. I think they keep using the same clips though, because it's not windy that often in FL Laughing

Most of the beach scenes and boat scenes are Long Beach Cal. I would go to Long Beach to kite in a heart beat over Floriduh.

This is just my opinion, but we had a waterfront house in Jupiter Floriduh and we sold it because nobody in my family ever wants to go there again. While I do have a couple of close friends in Floriduh, not a big fan of that state nor the people.

Super strange place. If you are a fan of gold chains and Rolex watches, it may be the place for you.

There are like a million better places to go kite.
