Created by David Bigelow, Jim Beller and John Campopiano, The Ultimate Jaws Location Guide is now live for your enjoyment, providing a virtual tour of the franchise’s filming locations.
The team notes in the press release, “Using Google Earth technology, our goal is for this map to be the most comprehensive and accurate Jaws location resource anywhere.”
This interactive 3D map marks the pre-production and production locations from Spielberg’s Jaws as well as other significant Jaws-related sites on Martha’s Vineyard.
The map also includes areas in Los Angeles where additional shots from Jaws were filmed, as well as Martha’s Vineyard locations used in the filming of Jaws 2 and Jaws: The Revenge.
Bigelow said in a statement, “We’re excited to bring this resource to fans of Jaws. We wanted to share it with the world as we believe it’s unlike any other map developed for the 1974 production. The map will be available online in both desktop and mobile formats so that it can be enjoyed at home or as a mobile companion to visiting Martha’s Vineyard and touring the locations in person.”
There are currently 70+ points on the map, which take you directly to various filming locations from Jaws, Jaws 2 and Jaws: The Revenge, along with insights and (in many cases) never-before-seen production photographs of those locations. This is an INCREDIBLE resource for Jaws fans, loaded with information and bringing you inside Amity Island like never before.

The Ultimate Jaws Location Guide project is part of the ongoing research for the forthcoming docudrama series about the troubled Jaws production, Making the Monster.
