According to www.examiner.com, ‘The Last Song’ movie has bought in welcome tourism to Tybee Island, the location where it is being filmed. Shop owners say that the island is normally empty 40 weeks a year, so anything to bring people in is very welcome. Apparently there is going to be a big boost in tourism both during the filming and afterwards when people have watched the movie and want to go visit the location.
Miley Cyrus has been the main attraction, and seems to be going down well with the locals on the island.
Two girls on the beach said about the Hannah Montana Star, “Miley was so nice and such a real person. She gave us autographed pictures and was really awesome.” The two girls also said that they were coming back the next day because they were shooting a beach volleyball scene and wanted to watch.
The town is 15 minutes from the historic town of Savannah GA and is a family orientated town with colourful houses and nice restaurants. Sounds like a very good location for the movie!
