THE COASTAL BEND MAGAZINE • Early Summer 2018 29 TheCoastalBend.com BREEZE HAVEN TRAILER PARK The film’s opening sequence and entry/exit shots were filmed at a mobile home park on Wheeler Ave. (TX-35) in Aransas Pass. The park was staged as though it was in Flour Bluff and a few blocks from the gulf beach on North Padre Island. DOCKSIDE SURF SHOP Dockside in Flour Bluff is the longest continually-open surf shop in Texas, this year celebrating its 50th anniversary. In the film it is owned by the villain, whose son started the fight by trashing Binx’s scooter. Tents erected outside the shop were burned in the film’s dramatic closing scene. OCEAN DRIVE MANSION The classic estate located on the southwest corner of Ocean Dr. and Doddridge served as Lloyd’s house in the movie. It’s not clear if the iconic scene of Billie Jean’s transformation was filmed at the home, on a Hollywood set, or elsewhere. The home has undergone many changes since 1984.
