Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Ecola State Park United States
“Indian Beach was the filming location for the time-jumping final act of Point Break, and several scenes of Twilight.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Hawaii, Utah, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
