“Jerry Maguire” - Scenes at John Wayne Airport and Fashion Island. I first watched Jerry Maguire a year or two ago, and didn’t even spot Newport Beach’s Fashion Island. The movie was also filmed at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, so I may need to watch it again to see these spots for myself. Image via: Tracie Hall “Beaches” – Crystal Cove. Filming in Orange County isn’t anything new. It’s been happening for more than 25 years. The movie “Beaches” was filmed on the beautiful beaches in Laguna and Crystal Cove in 1988. “Savages” – Laguna Beach. Much of this movie was shot in Laguna Beach. From ocean view real estate to sandy beach scenes, Laguna Beach was a perfect location for the film. “Catch Me If You Can” – Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana One of the more popular Orange County filming locations, the Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana was used to film “Catch Me If You Can.”
