Catch 22




We found out two years ago that the movie Catch 22 was filmed close to San Carlos. We have often been to the beach where some of the filming took place, but we have never taken the time to search for the old studio ruins. Yesterday we finally made a point of looking for the proper area - it wasn't that hard to find. Even though the buildings are falling apart, you could still visualize the workings of the actors and film crews. Small parts of the old landing strip are still visible, but not usable.

The view of the beach and Tetakawi Hill from the old studio is spectacular, although new condos will soon block that out.
