Love in Fairhope blurs the line between reality and fantasy, offering up five women from different backgrounds and age groups and following their real-life experiences while searching for love. But we wanted to look a little deeper past the concept, and we detailed where it was filmed, breaking down filming locations.
It’s billed as unscripted, but it allegedly has scripted moments, and for some viewers, it seems that the show has an uncanny valley feel to it.
Claiborne, Lashoundra, Olivia, Abby, and Mya Jo all have tales to tell, and we are invited. The official synopsis of the series states the show is a “uniquely unscripted fantasy,” a statement that befuddles me the more I think about it.
Real people are featured in the show, but there are moments where it crosses the line, slipping into the worst kind of melodrama and letting us all see the workings from behind the curtain, leading to the kind of head tilting from viewers usually associated with dog processing a new command.
It’s an odd show, to say the least, but there will be fans of this kind of content ready to lose themselves in the people and the town of Fairhope.
The city of Fairhope is almost a character itself, and there are plenty of establishing shots that showcase this beautiful location, so let’s dive into where Love in Fairhope is filmed.
Where is Love in Fairhope filmed – a breakdown of filming locations
Alabama, USA
Ah, sweet home, Alabama. You’ve all heard of it, but where is it? Well, you can find it in the Southeastern region of the US with neighbors Tennessee to its North, The Gulf of Mexico to the South, Georgia to its East, and Mississippi to its West.
Of course, Fairhope is in Alabama and is a real city.
Fairhope, Baldwin County, Alabama
So Fairhope is real and is a city you can find in Baldwin County.
It is located on the Eastern shoreline of Mobile Bay and has a population of around 26 thousand in 2023.
The Fairhope Inn restaurant
According to CBS 42, it seems that this venue was used in filming the series and that most of the filming would take place inside business areas.
The report would indicate that there was little in the way of road closures and detours needed, indicating that most of the show would be filmed indoors or on sets or in locations that could be used with minimal disruption to the roads and routes used by locals.
You can find The Fairhope Inn at 63 South Church Street in Fairhope, Alabama 36532.
Mobile Bay
It looks as if the beach at Mobile Bay was used in the filming of the show, too.
The Bay is a shallow inlet in The Gulf of Mexico and is seen in some exterior shots of the production.
It is another stunning aspect of Fairhope that is highlighted in the show, making Fairhope look like an idyllic US paradise that I would move to in a minute.
