Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) filming locations

Barrouallie, St. Vincent & Grenadines

Wallilabou Bay is a small sheltered bay on the leeward coast (Caribbean side) of northwest Saint Vincent, the main island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, located a few kilometers north of the town of Barrouallie. It marks the mouth of the Wallilabou River, which originates in the Grand Bonhomme mountains in the center of the island and flows down to the Caribbean Sea; a little upstream are the Wallilabou Falls, accessible from the Leeward Highway. A naturally protected anchorage, the bay has long served as a stopover for coastal vessels and remains frequented by local sailing boats and fishermen. Its surroundings still retain stone remnants from the colonial era and plantations, evidence of its former role as a loading cove along the island's west coast. The site is now developed as a heritage park (Wallilabou Heritage Park).

The scene : The bay of Wallilabou reprises Port Royal for this second installment, now flanked by the offices of the 'East India Trading Company'.

Rancho Palos Verdes, United States

The scene : On the east coast of Saint Vincent, the prison coffins are thrown into the sea — it is from one of them that Jack Sparrow makes his floating entrance.

Calibishie, Dominica
