About

Coastal Movie Guide is an editorial publication about films and the places, habits and gatherings around watching them by the sea. It is for curious viewers, local film enthusiasts and anyone who likes a movie night with a sense of place.

A coast-shaped lens

We explore seaside screens and film gatherings, coastal places as they appear in movies, and the ways location can shape a viewing occasion. The focus is cultural and practical: what a venue or setting invites us to notice, how different formats create different kinds of evenings, and why local traditions matter.

For curious viewers

You do not need specialist film knowledge to follow along. We explain terms when they help, keep the emphasis on useful context and offer ideas readers can adapt to their own tastes. We do not promise a definitive list of every venue or event.

A considered approach

Our stories distinguish observation from fact, avoid treating one coastline as a stand-in for all others and leave room for differing tastes. When a subject depends on local arrangements, readers should check current details with the relevant venue or organiser.
