where was the beach scene in dr no filmed
Dr. No (film) Dr. No is set in London, England, Kingston, Jamaica and Crab Key, a fictional island off Jamaica.[51] Filming began on location in Jamaica on 16 January 1962. The primary scenes there were the exterior shots of Crab Key and Kingston, where an uncredited Syd Cain acted as art director and also designed the Dragon Tank.[52] They shot a few yards from Fleming's Goldeneye estate, and the author would regularly visit the filming with friends.[53] Location filming was largely in Oracabessa, with additional scenes on the Palisadoes strip and Port Royal in St Andrew.[54] On 21 February, production left Jamaica with footage still unfilmed due to a change of weather.[10] Five days later, filming began at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, England with sets designed by Ken Adam, which included Dr. No's base, the ventilation duct and the interior of the British Secret Service headquarters. The studio would later be used on the majority of later Bond films.[4] Adam's initial budget for the entire film was just £14,500 (£283,884 in 2018[55]), but the producers were convinced to give him an extra £6,000 out of their own finances. After 58 days of filming, principal photography completed on 30 March 1962.[56]
