The Hallmark movie "Sand Dollar Cove" was primarily filmed in multiple locations in Connecticut. The main filming took place in the town of Noank, a small village in Groton. Other significant scenes were shot in Stonington, Mystic, Groton, and Milford, all in Connecticut. Notably, the pier featured in the movie is the Albert Munroe Pier at Walnut Beach in Milford, with CGI used to depict storm damage. Carson’s Store in Noank served as the Sand Dollar Café in the film. Mystic's 8 Willow Street was used for a house location, and several scenes were filmed at Esker Point Beach in Groton. The movie's fictional setting, Sand Dollar Cove, is an amalgamation of these Connecticut towns, although the book it is based on sets the story in North Carolina
