Where was Pirates of the Caribbean filmed?

In this scene, Ms. Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) awakens from a memory dream and realizes she still has the gold medallion locket with the pirate symbol. Elizabeth reaches for the locket and wears it on a chain around her neck. Just as she is looking at it, her father, the Governor (Jonathan Pryce), walks in and asks Elizabeth, "Oh, still abed at this hour? It's a beautiful day. I have a gift for you" and presents her with a dress (that is the latest fashion in London).

Elizabeth gets suspicious (even though she thinks the dress is beautiful) and asks her father, "May I enquire as to the occasion?" The Governor responds, "Does a father need an occasion to dote upon his daughter?" He then instructs the lady's maids to help Elizabeth dress up so she can join him for the day.

The Pirates of the Caribbean production team decided to shoot the Governor's house scenes at the old Marineland in the Palos Verdes Peninsula. While the house was a film set, visitors can go to the site just south of Los Angeles. To get here from Los Angeles, catch a metro to the Palos Verdes/ Seahill stop from the Harbor Gateway Transit Center and walk for 15 minutes to Marineland.

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is sailing on his small boat into Port Royal. However, his boat is sinking. As Jack passes a few hanging skeletons, he salutes them (since they are pirate skeletons) and makes his way to the Port Royal dock. As he reaches, he walks off his sinking boat and onto the pier.

As he walks off the pier, the dock master calls out to Jack, "Whaaa?! Hold up there, you!" Hearing this, Jack halts his stride, pivots, and walks back to the dock master, who says, "It's a shilling to tie up your boat to the dock." They both turn to the boat in question and see only the crow's nest on the main mast visible above the water.

Of all the Pirates of the Caribbean locations, this one is most popular since it is the dock where Captain Jack Sparrow swaggers off in style. The gorgeous Wallilabou Bay is exceptionally scenic. While most of the set construction is torn down, visitors can still go to this iconic location, look around, enjoy the sea breeze, and opt for water sports. Catch the green bus from Fitz Hughes – Leeward Bus Terminal to Barrouallie Keartons Flat to get here. The bay is a 2-minute walk from the bus stop.

Jack jumps into the water to save Elizabeth's life after she faints. When Jack pulls Elizabeth out, the Governor and the Commodore (Jack Davenport) run to them. Seeing that Jack is a pirate, the Commodore demands his immediate arrest. Elizabeth gets enraged and screams, "Commodore! I really must protest! Pirate or not, this man saved my life." The Commodore tries to reason with her and replies, "One good deed does not redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness."

Hearing this conversation, Jack realizes he may have a chance to escape, so he takes advantage of Elizabeth's kindness, holds her hostage, and demands his belongings (guns, belt, sword, and hat). Once the Commodore's man hands them to Elizabeth, Jack insists that she put everything on him. He smiles slyly at the Commodore (who fancies Elizabeth) and finally lets her go while he escapes the clutches of the Commodore's men in a daring jump and flight over turrets, pulleys, and wooden planks.

Many consider this one of the best scenes in Pirates of the Caribbean. Viewers usually enjoy all the Pirates of the Caribbean action scenes, but this is the first time they see Captain Jack Sparrow in action. To get to this gorgeous place at Marigot Bay in St. Lucia, turn onto Waterfront Road and head northwest.

Captain Jack Sparrow tries to escape the Commodore's men and ducks into a local smithy shop. When Jack is there, he manages to get his handcuffs removed, but before the captain can leave, he hears someone come into the shop. While Will Turner realizes someone is in his shop, Jack draws his sword, trying to stop Will from touching his famous pirate hat.

As soon as Will sees Jack, he says, "Pirate!" Jack looks at him confusedly and says, "You seem familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Will looks at Jack with disgust, and snidely says, "I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates." Jack seems unrepentant and responds, "Ah, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record." Will tries to stop Jack from escaping and leaving his shop, so they get into a sword fight. Eventually, Jack is captured after the shop owner smashes a bottle on his head, causing Jack to faint.

This Pirates of the Caribbean filming location is constructed at Chateaubelair, St. Vincent and Grenadine Island. While the set is long gone, visitors can still go to the lovely site, drink cocktails, and enjoy the Caribbean sun. To get here from Kingstown, catch a bus from the Leeward Bus Terminal to the Petit Bordel Secondary School on the green line. From this stop, you can walk around and explore Chateaubelair.

Jack and Elizabeth are left marooned on an island by the pirate, Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). As Elizabeth and Jack swim to the island, Jack turns around and looks at the ship sailing away in the distance. He spits out, "That's the second time I'm watching that man sail away with my ship." While on the island, Jack checks his guns while Elizabeth tries to find a way out.

As she returns to the same spot where Jack is seated, he says, "It's really not all that big, is it?" She gets frustrated with Jack, "If you're going to shoot me, please do so without delay." Jack pretends to be surprised, "Is there a problem between us, Ms. Swann?" She says with deadly venom, "You were going to tell Barbossa about the world in exchange for a ship!"

She gets upset when Jack finds rum on the island and sets it ablaze, hoping to attract another ship to save them. When Jack realizes the bottles are empty, he says, "Why is the rum gone?" This gorgeous Pirates of the Caribbean location is a secluded island (fictional Rumrunner's Isle) in the Tobago Cays, Petit Tabac. Visitors can easily access this island and have a pirate-themed picnic. Don't worry; unlike Jack and Elizabeth, there is excellent connectivity, and you can quickly get off the island. There are no public ferries to and from the island, but you can hire one of the many tour boats for a Pirates experience.

In this scene, Captain Jack Sparrow (with the help of Will Turner) is trying to recruit an 'able-bodied' crew to man his ship. While seeing the new crew members, Jack says, "You, man, do you have the courage and fortitude to follow order and stay true in the face of danger and a most certain death?" When Mr. Cotton (David Bailie) looks around helplessly, Jack demands, "Mr. Cotton, answer man!" Hearing this, first member Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally) steps in, "He's a mute, sir. The devil cut out his tongue, so he's trained the parrot to talk for him."

As soon as Joshamee says this, Jack says to the parrot, "Mr. Cotton's parrot, same question." The parrot squawks a few sounds, and Mr. Gibbs says, "We figured that mostly means yes." Will looks stupefied at this and can't believe this is the able-bodied crew that Jack wants.

Out of all the Pirates of the Caribbean film scenes, this is pivotal since it is an introduction to the people that form part of Captain Jack Sparrow's crew. Getting to Tortuga in Haiti is slightly challenging since the roads are unmarked. However, if you're at Haiti Private Surf House, there is an unnamed road that goes straight to Tortuga. You should rent a car or hitch a ride since there is no public transport on Tortuga.
