Kristen Stewart's New Vampire Movie Sounds Like The Anti-Twilight We Need In 2024

Why richard gere was banned from the oscars for 20 whole years, one phantom menace background's character makes him the ultimate nightmare fuel.

After Netflix added all the Twilight films onto the streaming service and inadvertently caused a Twilight Renaissance, the aesthetic from the films has become increasingly desirable. The dream of moving to a small town in the Pacific Northwest is becoming more and more popular.

RELATED: What Your Favorite Twilight Character Says About You

Luckily for the fans, there is one way to make this dream come true: filming locations. Not everyone can move to Oregon, but visiting the various filming locations from the Twilight saga will definitely bring the aesthetic to life.

Bridge To Forks

In the opening sequence of Twilight,  Charlie and Bella drive over a huge bridge on their way to Forks. The opening sequence is a beautiful arrangement of fly-over shots of the Washington landscape, all set to the soothing banjo of "Full Moon" by The Black Ghosts.

If fans want to experience this part of the film they should make their way to the Bridge of the Gods in Washington. According to the Port of Cascade Locks website, the bridge is a toll bridge that operates 24/7. It is free to walk across, so fans can live their Twilight dreams.

The Swan House

One of the most iconic locations is, of course, Bella's house. This is where Bella and Edward's iconic first kiss happens , where she suffers from nightmares in New Moon , and where Riley breaks in to get Bella's scent in  Eclipse . Luckily for fans, the house is actually available to rent on  Airbnb .

The house isn't actually in Forks, WA, but instead in St. Helens, OR. It is decorated exactly as seen in the movies with the added bonus of life-size cardboard cutouts of Bella, Edward, and Jacob. Unfortunately, the house is currently booked through September 2024! But don't worry, fans can still take pictures in front of the house, as long as they are respectful.

Forks High School

Of course, a good portion of the saga takes place at Forks High School. This is the one place Bella is really forced to live like a normal human, and usually the one place she actually interacts with her human friends.

If fans want to relive the almost-crash from the first film, then they simply need to head over to Kalama High School in Kalama, WA. This school was only used for exterior shots and is a public high school, so fans shouldn't wander in. However, the exterior has plenty to offer for the Catherine Hardwicke aesthetic.

The Forks Cafe is a staple for Bella and Charlie. Charlie has been ordering the same meal there for years, and everyone is so excited to see Bella again that they still remember her order. This is also the location where Stephanie Meyer makes her first cameo.

These scenes were actually filmed at the Carver Cafe in Damascus, OR. It's a quaint, all-American dinner filled with subtle touches from the film. While Bella's classic garden burger isn't on the menu, there are still plenty of other burger options for fans to enjoy as they sit in the very same corner Charlie and Bella often frequented.

La Push Beach

While La Push Beach does exist in the real town of Forks, WA, this isn't where the La Push Beach scenes were filmed. If fans want to visit the location where Bella first learned of werewolves and vampires, they'll have to go to Cannon Beach, OR.

Cannon Beach is home to the beautiful rocks formations seen in the background of many of the beach scenes. There are many Airbnb rentals available in the area, so fans can truly live their Twilight fantasies. Fans can attempt to surf the waves or simply sit on the sand and take in the beautiful scenery.

Forest Scenes

Twilight  is known for the lush forests it was filmed in. Bella first confronts Edward about being a vampire while surrounded by giant moss-covered trees. It's also in these woods that Jasper assesses the Cullen's fighting abilities in Eclipse . 

Fans can explore these beautiful forests in Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. Silver Falls is the largest state park in Oregon and has a host of different activities. There are many different waterfalls and trails to take part in and campgrounds to spend the night at.

The Cullen House

The Cullen house is the one place where the Cullen's don't have to pretend to be human. When Edward first brings Bella home, she is expecting a dark, stereotypical dungeon, but what she gets instead is an open, modern home. The house has huge windows to allow the sunlight in, and many rooms to accommodate the vast interests of the Cullens.

The house used for filming can be found at 3333 NW Quimby Street, Portland, OR. This is a private residence, so fans should refrain from attempting to entering the property. However, there are beautiful views of the home from the public road.

The Baseball Field

Twilight  has one of the most iconic scenes in the entire saga: the baseball scene. Set to the iconic song "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse, the scene showcases just how powerful vampires really are, as the Cullen's hit baseballs so hard the sound is akin to thunder.

If fans want to try out Jasper's impressive bat trick, they should head over to The Shire in the Columbia River Gorge in Washington. According to the John Yeon Center for Architecture and the Landscape , The Shire is a series of meadows and walking paths backed up against the beautiful Multnomah Falls. Surrounded by trees and overlooking a waterfall, fans will really feel like a part of the Cullen family.

New Moon sees Bella, Edward, and Alice travel outside of the Pacific Northwest all the way to Italy. The town of Volterra houses the powerful Volturi. Fans get a glimpse of the beautiful city when Bella is forced to run through large crowds in order to stop Edward from exposing himself as a vampire.

Fans can visit the city themselves by traveling to Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy. The town sits high atop a hill, overlooking beautiful wine vineyards. According to Discovery Tuscany , fans can visit various medieval palaces and churches in the town. Just try not to run into any vampires!

In  Breaking Dawn Part One , Bella and Edward honeymoon on Isle Esme, an island Carlisle owns. While the island itself may not actually exist, fans can see the house it was filmed at. Casa Em Paraty is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and can be rented.

The house has all the beautiful amenities fans see in the movie, including an infinity pool and bedrooms that open to the tropical air. While it's no doubt a little pricey, Casa Em Paraty is the ultimate destination to round out any  Twilight road trip.

13 'Twilight' film locations in the Pacific Northwest you can visit in real life

With a new companion book coming out on Aug. 4, "Twilight" fans will once again visit the moody, mysterious town of Forks, Washington — this time from the perspective of Edward Cullen, the iconic (and dreamy) centenarian vampire. While Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series takes place in the Olympic Peninsula, nothing was filmed in the area for the movie adaptations. In fact, only two major locations were used in the state of Washington — and not a single scene was shot in the real-life town of Forks . However, if you visit today, you'll see an old, red truck proudly parked in front of the city's chamber of commerce.

Though the films pay attention to Washingtonian culture with references to "Vitamin R" and Red Vines, the locations used to bring Forks and La Push to life on the big screen were actually filmed in Oregon and British Columbia. If you're feeling inspired by the new retelling of this supernatural story and want to visit Bella's old stomping grounds, here's a list of the most popular "Twilight" film locations you can still visit in the Pacific Northwest.

Edward's Backyard

The other noteworthy "Twilight" scene shot in-state features Cape Horn, WA. When Edward takes Bella on a tree climbing/flying adventure out his bedroom window, they're really soaring through treetops in Skamania County. While you can't have the same "spider monkey" view as Edward and Bella, you can see the Columbia River - closer to the ground - from the Cape Horn Overlook.

La Push Beach

"It's La Push, baby!" Except it's not La Push — it's Cannon Beach in Oregon. And after the first film, the Quileute reservation beach was recreated again at Incinerator Rock in Long Beach, B.C., for "New Moon".

Dress Shopping

St. Helens, OR was used as a stand-in for Port Angeles and its shops. If you look through the shop window during the prom dress scene, you'll see the St. Helens city hall, which was also used in Disney's "Halloweentown".

Vampire Baseball

When the Cullen crew plays thunder baseball, there's a huge waterfall shown in the background. While Washington certainly has its share of amazing falls , the waterfall seen on screen is Oregon's Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.

Forks Bridge

At the very beginning of the first film, Bella and her dad Charlie Swan are seen driving across a dramatic, long bridge and into the town of Forks. You can drive across the same bridge though, in reality, it's nowhere near Forks. It's called The Bridge of Gods, and it crosses the Columbia River and spans the Washington and Oregon border.

Forks Police Station

Vernonia, OR likely has a stronger claim to be the official "Twilight" town, as two of the city's main intersections were used in establishing shots for Forks. And the Wauna Federal Credit Union in town was used as Chief Swan's police station.

Forks High School

The exterior for the home of the Spartans, as well as the infamous school parking lot scene where Edward saves Bella's life, was shot at Kalama High School in Kalama, Washington. However, after the first film, the franchise was shot in the Vancouver, B.C. area. Forks High School was recreated at David Thompson Secondary School for "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and the graduation scene in the school gym was shot at Como Lake Middle School for "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse."

Hunting Grounds

The thick, moss-covered forest in the film opening looks just like the Hoh Rainforest, but it's another Oregon dupe. These chase scenes with the deer were filmed in Silver Falls State Park, about 20 miles away from Salem, OR.

The Carver Cafe

In the "Twilight" book, the Forks diner frequented by Bella and Chief Swan was called The Lodge, but the film used a locally-owned restaurant in Damascus, OR and didn't change the name. The Carver Cafe is still open today and cheekily advertises to "come get a bite."

The final scene in "Twilight" — a Monte Carlo-themed dance with an incredibly romantic, twinkling gazebo — was shot at the View Point Inn in Corbett, OR. Unfortunately, the building suffered a fire that took the second floor in 2011, but as the inn is on the National Register of Historic Places, there's hope in the Portland community that it can be restored.

Where Twilight was filmed

There's no shortage of moody Pacific Northwest locales on Twilight's film set roster, and you can visit many of them yourself in real life.

For a story about sharp teeth, you really couldn't find a better setting than Forks, Wash. (Prongs, Minn.? Spikes, Ore.?). All vamping aside, it's hard to beat Forks, which is such a perfectly prickly small-town name that you'd be forgiven for thinking it sprung directly from writer Stephenie Meyer 's imagination. But (unlike our attempts) you might be surprised to learn that Forks is a real place , and you can find it on any map of Washington state — population hovering around 3,000+ and cloudy as all get-out. The town sign featured in Twilight 's opening minutes (the one with "Forks" cut out of wood like an eighth-grade shop project) is the real thing, too.

And while Twilight wasn't actually filmed in Forks, a place Bella ( Kristen Stewart ) describes as under "constant cover of clouds and rain," the locations were Forks-adjacent, mainly in Washington and Oregon.

So, let's take a tour of the moody, magical, broodingly beautiful Pacific Northwest, where a beach day requires a raincoat and the dark skies give everything an extra (romantic? spooky?) edge. Here's our breakdown of where Twilight was filmed.

The Cullen House (Portland, Ore.) and the Swan House (St. Helens, Ore.)

The movie version of Bella Swan's house is a white clapboard number in the quaint town of St. Helens, Ore. The movie version of the mod manse where Edward ( Robert Pattinson ) lives with his Vam Fam is 30 miles away in Portland. Meaning? Edward (a.k.a. the fast vampire) could literally run to Bella's window in minutes ! We know, Twilight is just a movie, vampires are fictional , love fades, yada yada yada, but still , details like this make the story feel real, and we love it.

Props to the location scouts, too, because the architectural styles of these homes practically tell full stories about their inhabitants without ever uttering a word. Take the Cullen place: This cold-but-gorgeous, angular, pale, light-filled home is like a brick-and-mortar version of Edward. The house also reflects Meyer's style, giving the vampire myth an update — no dusty, dark Victorian mansion here. The best part? You can easily visit the house (a private residence) because it's located on Quimby Street in central PDX. Note: It is NOT covered with a giant tarp or fence or obnoxious "keep away" sign (like the Goonies house down the road in Astoria, sigh ) so please, be respectful with your selfies. Bella's home, a 1930s white clapboard two-story in St. Helens, also reflects who she is: modest, unassuming, with many hidden charms. Amazingly, this house is available for rent as an Airbnb (though it's booked out for the next few years ).

Silver Falls State Park (Sublimity, Ore.)

Not to throw shade (get it?) on the entire set construction/CGI industry, but Mother Nature does a way better job at building forests. Take Silver Falls State Park, located in Sublimity, Ore. This 9,000+ acre wooded wonderland features waterfalls, caves, wildlife (insert werewolf joke here), and the most gorgeous flora and fauna you've ever seen. In other words? It's the perfect setting for Edward to take Bella to the top of a zillion-foot tree, and to deliver the best line in the movie ("Wrap your legs around me like a spider monkey").

Location scouts be praised, because Silver Falls is a seriously moody (can we just call it "teenage-style"?) forest, going from the romantic bliss of the aforementioned scene to the dark, creepy vibe of the intro. Plus, Silver Falls is also the setting of Edward's bare-handed deer hunt. How could a soundstage ever compare? P.S.: The park even put up a commemorative sign honoring its role in Twilight .

Forks High School (Kalama High School, Kalama, Wash. and Madison High School, Portland, Ore.)

Our obsession with cool movie schools goes way back, and Forks High is absolutely up there. The retro red brick seems designed to pop against the cloudy skies and evergreen trees, the narrow, two-story structure with the severe black roof feels appropriately emo, and the lovely, dorky, kerning-challenged sign out front brings on a nostalgia wave for a pre-digital world.

Forks High is actually two locations mashed into one, but they fit so seamlessly that we wouldn't have guessed it. The majority of the exterior scenes (the big parking lot drama) were filmed at Kalama High School, in Kalama, Wash., but the interiors were filmed at the slightly more light-filled, but still quaintly retro, Madison High School in Portland, Ore. The science room in particular remains imprinted on our memories, the site of that black lab table where Bella and Edward are forced to sit together like a pair of violently attracting/repelling magnets. Come to think of it, Bella and Edward's relationship is kind of like the ultimate science experiment.

Carver Cafe (Damascus, Ore.)

Meyer has said that choosing the town of Forks was supposed to signify Bella's "fork in the road" moment, and we can see that — going from Arizona to Oregon, from Mom to Dad, from girl to woman. But to us, it will always mean something sharp. Either way, some of the most earnest on-screen Forks moments happen in a cozy little diner called the Carver Cafe.

Lucky for hungry Twihards in desperate need of a bite (sorry), this is a real cafe located in a small Oregon town called Damascus, cute as a button and surrounded by towering evergreens. If you make the pilgrimage, you'll be able to sit right where Bella and her dad Charlie ( Billy Burke ) sat, and you can probably even order Bella's garden burger and her favorite childhood treat: the official dessert of the Pacific Northwest (berry cobbler). In an unusual move for Hollywood big-budget productions, they used the inside and outside as-is. And here's an extra treat for eagle-eyed viewers — in the grand Stan Lee tradition, during the scene where Bella meets her dad for a meal, Stephenie Meyer is sitting at the counter writing on her laptop! The waitress even calls her by name while bringing her the secret to her success: a veggie plate (Note to self: eat more veggies).

La Push Beach (Indian Beach at Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, Ore.)

The Oregon Coast gets its day in the sun (kidding...there's never any sun!) in a pivotal scene early on in the film. It's kind of hilarious how this walk with Bella and childhood friend/secondary love interest Jacob Black ( Taylor Lautner ) so perfectly encapsulates what a "beach day" in the Pacific Northwest is like. Yes, this is the kind of beach where you'll be shivering under a raincoat as the dark sea crashes onto the damp sand under cloud-covered skies, which, of course, perfectly fits the whole Twi-vibe, and the unsettling Quileute legend that Jacob tells Bella about the "cold ones."

Though it's supposed to be "La Push" in the film, the spot is actually a place called Indian Beach, which is in Ecola State Park between Seaside and Cannon Beach. This whole area is so gorgeous, it's actually difficult to capture the true sense of drama you'll see (and feel) standing on the beach under the ever-changing sky. But, of course, watching Twilight is the next best thing to being there.

Thunderbird & Whale (St. Helens, Ore.)

The scene where Bella buys a book about Quileute legends is a valentine for bookstore nerds. It all starts when Bella, searching online for books to figure out what this "cold ones" thing is all about, notably clicks past Amazon to the little indie Thunderbird & Whale store in Port Angeles, Wash. And when she arrives at the twinkly and magical spot — a little white cottage rising up out of the mist, elevated above the road — those of us who enjoyed the book series along with the movies can't help but geek out.

We should also mention this is the part of the story where Edward rushes in to save Bella from a pack of drunk guys, and then confesses he can't stay away from her...but let's get back to the really important stuff here: the bookstore. Tragically, the shop is a product of Meyer's imagination, and the location is actually a lawyer's office in St. Helens, Ore. But if there was such a thing as bookstore fanfic, we'd totally read it.

Prom (The View Point Inn, Corbett, Ore.)

For a movie about vampires (and werewolves!) there sure are a lot of fairy lights, including here, at the site of the endearingly romantic gazebo prom dance between Edward and Bella. Sure, it looks nothing like the gym-set prom in the book (or in any of our experiences) but it's so transcendent, we'll forgive this creative license.

Filmed at the View Point Inn, a historic hotel and restaurant overlooking the Columbia River Gorge that closed in recent years after a tragic fire, it is set to reopen as a wellness center . We just hope they keep the gazebo.

‘Twilight’ Filming Locations That Fans Can Visit

The Twilight Saga is an American vampire-themed romantic fantasy series of five films. They all are distributed by Summit Entertainment. Twilight Saga is an adaptation of the best-selling book series named “Twilight” written by Stephanie Meyer. The series was successful at the box office and received mixed reviews from critics.

The series’ story is from a girl’s perspective. It begins from her way of adjusting to the new life with her father in an unfamiliar town and ends with to what extent she will go to save her family from a bunch of evil vampires.

The unfamiliar, moody, and mysterious town here is the city of Forks in Washington. In the best-selling book series, all the events take place in the Olympic Peninsula.

Not The Real Forks

Except from two significant locations in Washington, no scenes were shot in the actual town of Forks. But, a fun fact, the old red truck that Bella (aka Kristen Stewart) rode is parked in front of the city’s chamber of commerce till now.

Even though the films showed Washington culture in simple things like the references to Red Vines, “Vitamin R,” and various locations around Forks and La Push, most of the filming locations are from Oregon and British Columbia.

Where was ‘Twilight’ Filmed?

Here are the 13 most popular locations from the films you can visit.

Clackamas Community College

This college is the film location of Bella and her classmate’s field trip for the greenhouse in the first installment of the series,  Twilight . The greenhouse in the college is the same as the day it was in the film. It is a public community college with an enormous horticulture program and many greenhouses around the campus.

Address: 19600 Molalla Avenue, Oregon City, OR, USA

Forks High School

The first filmmakers used two schools – Kalama High School and Madison High School – to shoot the scenes in Forks High School. The breakthrough scene when Edward (aka Robert Pattinson) saves Bella’s life in the parking lot and the exterior scenes of the home of Spartans were filmed at Kalama High School, Kalama, Washington. The cafeteria scenes were shot at Madison High School, Portland.

After the first one, the makers moved their location to Vancouver, the B.C. area. They used David Thompson Secondary School for the second installment,  New Moon,  and Como Lake Middle School to shoot the graduation scene in the school gym for  Eclipse , the third installment.

Indian Beach

Bella’s friends’ surfing scene on the La Push beach was shot in Cannon Beach in Oregon. This is where Jacob (aka Taylor Lautner) tells Bella about the Quileute legends about the history of wolves and the “cold ones.” The Incinerator Rock in Long beach, B.C., was then used as the Quileute reservation beach for  New Moon.

Address: 84318 Ecola State Park Road, Seaside, Cannon Beach, OR, USA

Vernonia, Oregon

Wauna Federal Credit Union in Vernonia, Oregon, served as the Forks Police Station in all the films of the series. We all can say that Vernonia was the official “Forks” in the Twilight Saga, as most of the scenes were filmed around there – when Edward and Bella return to town from Port Angeles, the scene at the road next to the building. Another scene when Bella requests Edward to pull into the police station, and he did – was also shot in the side street.

Plus, the house where Bella and her father live was also located at 184 South 6th street by the Washington border in Saint Helens and about 20 miles east of Vernonia.

View Point Inn

The View Point Inn is where the whole “Casino Monte Carlo” prom scene was filmed. It was a 1924 classic boutique hotel located 22 miles from downtown Portland, Oregon. During a fire accident in 2011, the View Point Inn building was damaged and was not revived due to a lack of funds.

Address: 40301 E Larch Mountain Rd, Corbett, OR, USA

Bloated Toad Restaurant

The crew used a restaurant building to shoot the scene when Bella and Edward would go for not-dinner dinner after Edward rescued her. This building is now empty, but the structure is the same as shown in the film though. You can even imagine the scenes involving the sidewalk and stairs with the couple.

Address: 330 S. 1st Street, St. Helens, Oregon

Paramount and Ridge Theatre

Paramount Theatre was used for the scene in which Bella, Jacob, Mike Newton stand in front of a theatre talking to each other before seeing the movie Face Punch. This place is also used in the scene when Bella hops on for a short ride with a motorcyclist right before she and Jessica walk out of the theatre.

Address: 652 Columbia Street, New Westminster, BC

There are interior theatre scenes in  New Moon  where Bella, Jacob, and Mike will be watching the movie Face Punch. Ridge Theatre is the location used to shoot the scene. You can recognize the front doors to the main theatre from the scene where Jacob and Bella come out of the foyer. They will sit on the steps, and later, Mike joins them.

Address: 3113 Arbutus Street, Vancouver, BC

Forks Bridge

You would have seen Bella and her father Charlie (aka Billy Burke) driving across a long bridge with a board at the end saying “The City of Forks Welcomes You” at the very beginning of the first film. But, you cannot find the bridge near Forks. Its real name is The Bridge of Gods which crosses the Columbia River and stretches over the Washington and Oregon Border.

Carver Cafe

The Forks diner was Carver Cafe which plays a part in the movies as “The Lodge,” just as mentioned in the book. The Carver Cafe was opened in the late 50s and is still open and very active.

Address: 16471 OR-224, Damascus, OR, USA

St. Helens, Oregon

St. Helen is the land of various shops in Port Angeles, Washington. One of the shops is an angel hair salon which was transformed into a Petite Jolie dress shop to film the scene involving Bella and her friends choosing prom dresses. If you look at the shop window, you would see the St. Helens city hall.

And that is when Bella opts to Thunderbird and Whale Bookstore, which has several books stacked on the shelves to the ceiling and continues to the front porch too. Bella would buy the book about the Quileute tribe and their legends here.

This place is also called Halloweentown because the Disney Channel Original film was filmed in this place.

Columbia River Gorge

Did you like the Vampire Baseball scene in  Twilight ? This place is the one used in that scene. The Cullen family playing thunder baseball with a massive rainfall in the background was a good scene to see. Well, the credit goes to this location. Washington is known for its fantastic waterfalls, and Oregon’s Multnomah Falls from this Gorge was the one used to film it.

Address: Hood River, OR, USA

Silver Falls State Park

At the beginning of  the Twilight  movie, there was a moment in a thick forest where a deer was being chased and hunted. That scene was actually filmed at this Park. The crew also shot scenes with Edward and Bella on the treetops there. The Park is about 20 miles from Salem, Oregon.

Address: 20024 Silver Falls Hwy SE, Sublimity, OR, USA

Cullen House

The breathtaking Cullen house is a private residence. The directors shot most of the scenes involving the Cullen family. This M1 residence is a dungeon, moat, and coffin-free one. The cantilever glass and wood infrastructure were designed by Skylab Architects in Forest Park, Portland. The reel Cullen house goes by the real name Hoke House.

Address: 3333 NW Quimby St., Portland, Oregon

Coquitlam, British Columbia

The scenes involving Jacob’s house in La Push, Washington, were filmed in Coquitlam, a suburb in Vancouver. The house was painted in red to match up with information provided in the book. It is a private residence located on a corner lot in Victoria Drive, Gilley’s Trail, and Quarry Road.

Also, many exterior scenes from  Eclipse  were shot in Minnekhada Regional Park, further along, the road.

Squamish, British Columbia

This location was used to shoot the rock climbing scenes from Breaking Dawn – Part 2. The granite cliff is located in Stawamus Chief Provincial Park, which is in the outskirts of Squamish.

The crew had to set up the whole Cullen house near Squamish. The wedding ceremony and reception of Edward and Bella, the farewell scene, and many other outdoor scenes from Breaking Dawn movies were shot in this house.

Ballet Studio

This studio was the Mimi’s School of Dance, Scottsdale, Arizona, where James ambushed Bella Swan.

Address: 800 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, OR, USA

There are some other filming locations such as Blue Heron Paper Mill, Olde Towne District, Port Moody in British Columbia, and many more. The whole series focused on different species – vampires, wolves, and humans. Stephanie Meyer was appreciated for a great interpretation of her creativity with what vampires and wolves will be like. The film locations were shown slightly differently according to the species who will be in the scenes. As a Twilight fan, you would be willing to see the places shown in The Twilight Saga, and trust me – the locations won’t disappoint you.

This Twilight -Inspired Map Will Show You All The Places You Should Visit On Your Next Road Trip

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest.

Every fan of the Twilight Saga has the Pacific Northwest on their travel bucket list. After all, there would be no Edward and Bella without Forks, Washington, and it’s where the Cullens could easily hide their sparkly vampire skin and play baseball during thunderstorms. With all the Twilight films available to stream on Netflix, your desire to travel out west might be stronger than ever. Before you start booking flights and packing your bags, you’ll want to know all the Twilight Saga filming locations you can visit IRL when you get there.

The Pacific Northwest has a lot more than just a few meadows where you can recreate the scene where Edward and Bella lay out together. Not only can you actually visit the beaches in La Push to go surfing, but you can also stay in Bella’s house from the movies via Airbnb. When you’re hungry, make a reservation at the restaurant where Bella eats dinner while Edward keeps her company. To recreate the iconic truck scene for Instagram or TikTok, you’ll want to head to Kalama High School, where the scene was filmed.

Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that fully vaccinated people can safely travel domestically, why not plan an entire Twilight -inspired trip? As long as you remember to follow local COVID-19 requirements and practice social distancing as much as possible, you should be able to sink your teeth into whatever your heart desires. It’s up to you whether you decide to jam-pack a getaway to Washington, Oregon, and California with any (or all) of these 12 Twilight movie locations and live out your vampire dreams. It’s the perfect idea for a romantic trip for you and your partner, or a vacay with your besties who accompanied you to see every Twilight movie in theaters.

You’ve done a full rewatch of all the movies, so now’s the time to fully immerse yourself in the saga once more by starting to plan your itinerary.

One of the first spots Bella visits when she arrives in Forks is Carver Café, which is a diner Charlie liked to eat at regularly. The actual Carver Café is in Oregon, not Washington. However, it’s right off the highway and located only a couple of hours away from Forks. If you do decide to visit on your trip up north, keep in mind that while they may not have Charlie’s go-to order of a steak and cobbler every Thursday, you can get breakfast all day.

T he CDC recommends traveling only after you’re fully vaccinated and your vaccine has become fully effective . If you’re not fully vaccinated and must travel, check the CDC guidelines before you book. Check your destination’s vaccination and testing requirements before you depart.

Twilight Movie Road Trip – Quest for Filming Locations in the Northwest

My daughter’s 13th birthday was marked by a “Twilight Movie Road Trip” that was all about finding Twilight movie filming locations. It was so much fun that even my husband had a good time, but don’t let that get out.  I’ve received a lot of questions about our itinerary, so here it is.  Have fun!

Twilight movie filming locations Day 1: Port Angeles, Bella’s house and the exterior School of Dance and Forks High School

We left the Seattle-area Friday afternoon, our first stop was Bella’s house located in St. Helens, Oregon , about 2 hours 45 minutes from Seattle and 40 minutes from Portland. In addition to Bella’s house, the “Port Angeles” scenes were filmed here, which included “Petite Jolie,” the shop where Bella helps Jessica and Angela find their prom dresses, the parking lot where Edward rescued Bella from a group of boys, the Bloated Toad restaurant where Edward revealed his mind-reading abilities, and Thunderbird & Whale bookstore.

As we turned the corner toward Bella’s house , we strained to look up the road, not knowing what to expect. We drove past the house and turned around at the end of the road, then snapped a few photos drive-by style, never getting out of our car. It looked just like it did in the movie, with the exception of a friendly note on the tree in front of the house, reminding us that it is a private residence, not to peek in windows. Visiting a film location like this is a lot different than visiting a studio set; people actually live here, which kind of made us feel like the paparazzi. At first this made us all a little uneasy, but honestly it didn’t take long for us to all really get in to it.

After seeing the Twilight sites in St. Helens, Oregon we retraced our path up to the Lewis and Clark Bridge and crossed back into Washington. Bridges across the Columbia are few and far between, and after doing some research I found that is was indeed faster to double back 30-ish minutes to cross the Columbia River the same way we came to continue to Portland. An added bonus, Kalama High School, used for the outside scenes of Forks High School , was an easy stop right on the way.

With the sun beginning to set, we headed into Portland for our final stop of the day, the site of Mimi’s School of Dance . The scene in Twilight with the final confrontation between Edward and James takes place at the ballet studio from Bella’s childhood.

A few short minutes later we pulled up the Portland Hotel Monaco , our accommodations for the night. The Hotel Monaco is a luxury hotel with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.  The Monaco is kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and located in the center of Downtown Portland. We found out that the cast of “Twilight” stayed there during the filming of the movie.

Twilight movie filming locations Day 2: Café, prom and Cullen’s house

After a restful night of sleep and a relaxing morning, we were back on the road to our next stop: the Carver Café, where Bella and her dad ate dinner a couple of times. It looked exactly like it did in the movie, but don’t expect to order Charlie’s favorites, those items aren’t on the menu.

Back on the road, we were headed to the View Point Inn, the scene of Bella and Edward’s prom. Unfortunately the View Point Inn had a fire last year, but the stunning views of the Columbia Gorge remain.

After exploring the View Point Inn and some of the Columbia Scenic Highway, we made our way back to Portland to see the Cullen’s house , home to Edward and his vampire family. Driving through the idyllic hillside neighborhood consisting primarily of Craftsman and Old Portland-style homes, the Cullen’s house was a stark contrast with its sleek, modern design. There is a family that lives here, they welcome Twilight fans to take photos, but ask that you stay at the end of their drive way.

Now mid-afternoon, we had enjoyed seeing the sites, but were ready to head to the last destination on our list, and one of our favorite places to visit: Cannon Beach. Located an hour and a half from Portland, Canon Beach is beautiful, relaxing and a welcome way to wrap up our Twilight Road Trip. We pulled up next to the lovely Ocean Lodge at Cannon Beach where we were staying and soaked in the fresh salt air, warm sunshine and incredible views.

Twilight movie filming locations Day 3: La Push surfing and beach scene

Another surprise when doing my research for our “Twilight” movie filming locations road trip – the La Push beach scenes were actually filmed over 200 miles away at Indian Beach just north of Cannon Beach.

After a late lunch and a little shopping in Cannon Beach, we stopped by Bruce’s Candy Shop for road trip sustenance – our family tradition. Then we headed back home, full of conversation for a memorable 13th road trip birthday finding Twilight movie filming locations.

Carver Cafe

Carver Cafe - Damascus, OR

The Carver Cafe was used as the local casual dining restaurant in Forks, and plays the part of The Lodge as mentioned in the books. According to their website: It has pretty much always been a restaurant since opening in the late 50’s. It was built by a husband and wife who lived in the house that is still behind the café. He was injured in a logging accident and as a result of that, the family was forced to find a different income. So, the café was just that and ran by his wife. It’s always been some kind of restaurant but a lot of locals talk about their memories of it as a donut shop. [1]

The View Point Inn

Viewpoint Inn - Near Portland, OR

The View Point Inn is just 22 miles from downtown Portland, Oregon, near Crown Point, nestled high on a one acre bluff, with a panoramic view of the entire Columbia River Gorge, the city lights of Portland, and Vancouver. This is where the prom scenes were filmed for Twilight . According to their website: This 1924 world class boutique hotel and fine dining restaurant serves lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The Inn has celebrated Presidents, Hollywood Motion Picture Stars and European Royalty and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Available for banquets, private parties, weddings and special events. [2] In 2011, a fire destroyed the building. Due to lack of funding, there are no plans to repair or reopen it.

Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

This is where the deer hunt in the prologue of Twilight is filmed, as well as some shots of Bella with Edward in the treetops. [3]

Vernonia, Oregon (aka: Forks, Washington)

Wauna Federal Credit Union (aka: Forks Police Station)

Much of the filming of "Forks, WA" was actually done in Vernonia, OR [4] . The picture shown here is the Google® maps street view of the Wauna Federal Credit Union building in Vernonia, which was used as the Forks Police Station during filming. Clearly visible in this view are two additional distinctive landmarks, aside from the building itself, which are seen in the movie Twilight when Edward and Bella are returning to town from Port Angeles. The telephone pole, and the side street that Edward turns onto before pulling into the police station at Bella's request. The house in "Forks" where Bella lives with her father Charlie is about 20 miles east of Vernonia by the Washington border in Saint Helens, at 184 South 6th Street.

Kalama and Madison High Schools (aka: Forks High School)

Kalama High School

Forks High School was actually a combination of two different schools. Kalama High School in Kalama, WA was used for the exterior shots of the school - such as the pivotal parking lot scene in which Edward first shows his superhuman speed and strength. [4] The cafeteria scenes were shot at Madison High School in Portland, OR, which was also a location used for Gus Van Sant's 2007 independent film "Paranoid Park." [5]

The Oregon City Mill (aka: Grisham Mill)

Blue Heron Paper Co. at The Oregon City Mill

Located about 15 miles south of Portland, Oregon on the Willamette River, this was the filming location for the scene in Twilight where James' Coven attack and kill a security guard at Grisham Mill. It is also notable that William Friedkin’s "The Hunted" was filmed here as well. [4]

Indian Beach (aka: First Beach, LaPush, Washington)

Indian Beach, Ecola State Park

Ecola State Park, which is identified in the photo, is in Cannon Beach, Oregon - not Washington. This is the location used as the surfing spot for the high school kids of Forks. The picture shown is quite recognizable as the location used in Twilight where Jacob tells Bella the Quileute legends involving their wolf origins and the "cold ones". This location was also used in the filming of Steven Spielberg’s "1941" and "The Goonies," as well as the surfing movie "Point Break". [4]

Long Beach, Pacific Rim National Park, BC

Long Beach is located in Pacific Rim National Park, [6] British Columbia.

For the movies after Twilight, the filming location for LaPush beach was moved up the coast to Vancouver Island. This is the place where Bella says to Jacob "so you're a werewolf" in New Moon . Jacob and Bella walk through the outcrops at Incinerator Rock to Long Beach. This a top beach for surfers in Canada due in part to large and consistent waves.

Other locations were used around the park [7] situated between the scenic towns of Tofino and Ucluelet. Members of the Quileute tribe play soccer on a beach in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 . This is the scene where Jacob, Leah, Embry and Seth discuss the pros and cons of imprinting and of being an Alpha.

Olde Towne District, Saint Helens, Oregon (aka: Port Angeles, Washington)

Saint Helens, Oregon

This is where the scenes in " Port Angeles " are filmed for Twilight .

• The "Petite Jolie" dress shop, where Angela & Jessica pick out their prom dresses, is actually the Angel Hair Salon at 251 South 1st Street. [4]
• The "Thunderbird and Whale" book store, where Bella buys her vampire research material, is actually a private office building at 260 South 2nd Street. [4]
• Behind the bookstore site is the alleyway where Edward swoops in to rescue Bella from her would-be attackers, on 1st Street. [4]
• The "Bloated Toad" Italian Restaurant, where Edward opens up to Bella, is actually a construction company at 333 South 1st Street. [4]

Coquitlam, British Columbia (aka: LaPush, Washington)

Coquitlam, BC

The scenes with Jacob and Billy Black's residence were filmed in Coquitlam, a suburb of Vancouver, BC. The private residence is in clear view from the street and it's on a corner lot located at Victoria Drive, Gilleys Trail and Quarry Road. The house was painted red to match the color in the book prior to filming.

A little further along the road is Minnekhada Regional Park. [8] A number of the outdoor scenes from Eclipse were filmed here.

Vancouver, British Columbia

Sun Tower, Vancouver

Downtown Vancouver is used as a stand-in for Seattle . Bella is seen parking and getting out of a Volvo while she is on her way to see J.Jenks . The Sun Tower Building [9] at the end of Beatty Street was built in 1912 and is a recognizable landmark. [10] The scene was filmed at 513 Beatty Street, a few steps from the underground Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain station.

Rosalie runs into Royce King and his drunk friends in Rochester, New York on the last day of her human life. In Rosalie's flashback, it's possible to see glimpses of the Hotel Vancouver and the Vancouver Art Gallery [11] (Rattenbury building or former courthouse). The filming took place on Hornby Street, just south of West Georgia Street in the middle of the night.

Edward is seen in a flashback scene watching a black and white horror film inside an ornate classical theatre in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 . Edward gets out of his seat to save a lady by hunting the man who was about to follow her down a stairwell. The Orpheum Theatre [12] is located at 601 Smithe Street, and has an iconic sign and an alternate entrance around the corner at 870 Granville Street.

Stanley Park [13] is situated on a 1,000 acre [404 hectare] peninsula. Filming took place in the interior of the heavily forested park. The park contains a number of totem poles, a 9 kilometre seawall, a lighthouse, several beaches and an aquarium. [14]

West Vancouver, British Columbia (aka: Cullen House, WA)

Whytecliff Park

The Cullen House used for New Moon (only) is located in West Vancouver. This is a private residence located in the British Properties at 118 Stevens Drive. It's on a heavily wooded half acre lot, it's possible to get a better view of the corner property from Deep Dene Road. The building layout is nothing like the original Cullen house in Twilight. There are other differences as well such as the main driveway at the rear of the property. The property was reported to have been sold for $3.3 million after filming was completed. [15]

Whytecliff Park [16] was used for the cliff diving scene and for other scenes in New Moon. Victoria dives into the ocean here after being chased by werewolves . Whyte Islet at high tide can be seen right behind where she hits the water. The scenic park located at the entrance to Howe Sound is a very popular underwater diving spot and a wild seal habitat. The music video for the Eclipse title track "all yours'" by metric has a few glimpses of the park.

Squamish, British Columbia

Stawamus Chief Mountain

This is where the rock climbing scenes from Breaking Dawn - Part 2 were filmed. The steep granite cliffs of Stawamus Chief Provincial Park are just outside of Squamish. The wedding ceremony and reception in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 were also filmed in the area.

A full-scale Cullen house was constructed near Squamish on a private 50-acre property, complete with a river. The house can be seen in the farewell scene and in a number of the outdoor scenes in the Breaking Dawn movies. The house been since demolished. [17]

The indoor scenes for Breaking Dawn were filmed at another Cullen house built inside a sound stage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana against a green screen. The forest was later digitally added. [18]

District of North Vancouver, British Columbia

Mount Seymour

A number of the camping mountaintop scenes in Eclipse were filmed on Mount Seymour. [19]

This peak can be seen clearly from many locations across Vancouver. A road winds up the peak to a ski resort and it's a popular spot for hiking. The western tip of Vancouver can be seen far in the background in the scene where Jacob carries Bella up to the campsite prepared by Edward. The snow covered mountaintop fight scenes with Victoria and Riley were done in studio.

Bella's cliff diving scene included footage from the Cleveland Dam. [20] This location is easily reached from the park beside Capilano Road and Nancy Greene Way. There's also a great view of the mountains over Capilano Lake.

Widgeon Slough, Pitt River, BC (aka: LaPush Reservation, WA)

Pitt River, BC

Jacob and Bella try out their rebuilt motorbikes on a dirt road beside the marsh in New Moon . Edward appears in this scene as a vision to Bella. In Eclipse Bella remarks "it's so pretty here". Jacob later kisses Bella against her wishes. The marsh is shown in the opening credits in Breaking Dawn - Part 2 .

It's possible to access Widgeon Slough from the east side of the Pitt River by boat. The Pitt-Addington Marsh Wildlife Management Area [21] at the north end of Rannie Road has a boat launch and canoe rentals. Widgeon Slough [22] is on the west side of Siwash Island along the Pitt River. There is a gated private dirt road that goes to the slough on the west side of the river. The Battlestar Galactica episode Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II was also filmed here. [23]

Port Moody, British Columbia

Sasamat Lake

A number of outdoor scenes were filmed in Belcarra Regional Park [24] in Port Moody for Eclipse .

The Riley -led newborn vampire army emerges from the cold waters of Sasamat Lake according to reports. [25] This freshwater lake is actually a little warmer than the ocean. In Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Irina is reported [18] to be on a ridge within Belcarra Regional Park. While the park appears to be fairly close to Vancouver , it does take a little time to reach as it can only be accessed by travelling around the end tip of Burrard Inlet.

Paramount Theatre, New Westminster, BC (aka: Port Angeles, WA)

Paramount Theatre, New Westminster

Bella, Jacob and Mike Newton talk on the street in front of a theatre in New Moon before seeing the movie Face Punch. On an earlier night out, Jessica and Bella walk out of same the theatre after seeing a zombie flick. Bella takes up a motorcyclist's offer and hops on for a short ride.

The Paramount Theatre building is located at 652 Columbia Street. It's now just a former theatre that has been turned into a strip club. The Paramount is easy to get to, it's a few blocks between the New Westminster and Columbia Skytrain stations. Bella and Jessica are seen walking around the corner from the theatre down McKenzie Street to Front Street in the direction of the motorcyclists.

This theatre and adjecent street was used in the Stephen King film It (1990).

Ridge Theatre, Vancouver, BC (aka: Port Angeles, WA)

Ridge Theatre, Vancouver, BC

The interior theatre scenes in New Moon were filmed at the Ridge. Mike Newton, Bella and Jacob sit in the front row seats and listen to a gun battle. Mike feels sick and rushes to the men's room. The iconic doors to the main theatre are seen when Jacob and Bella walk out into the foyer. Here Bella takes a seat on the steps with Jacob. Mike joins them later in the scene.

The Ridge Theatre is located at 3113 Arbutus Street. This theatre opened in April 1950 and had a long and varied history. In November 2012 it was possible to see Breaking Dawn - Part 2 played at the Ridge from the seat right next to where Jacob sat in the New Moon scene. The theatre had its final show [26] on February 3, 2013 and it was torn down [27] to make way for condos [28] .

Steveston, BC

The fishing village of Steveston situated in Richmond, BC was a used as location in New Moon . Riley was pursued and bitten by Victoria on the dock in front of the historic Gulf of Georgia Cannery. [29] The restaurant and narrow streets where Riley was first chased by Victoria are in the Gastown district in Vancouver.

David Thompson High School, Vancouver, BC (aka: Forks High School)

David Thompson Secondary School

In New Moon and Eclipse , the Forks High School scenes were shot at David Thompson Secondary School at 1755 East 55th Avenue in Vancouver. [15]

The original Twilight film was filmed in Oregon, see the section on the Kalama and Madison High Schools. The exterior shots in New Moon were filmed in a Vancouver area parking lot and the original high school building was later digitally added.

Pemberton, BC (aka: Denali, Alaska)

The Denali house scenes were filmed up in the mountains around Pemberton, BC. It's a two hour drive north of Vancouver or about half an hour from Whistler. The making of Breaking Dawn Part 2 documentary mentioned the complications caused by filming this outdoor scene under clear sunny conditions. Cloudy weather would have been ideal, as there were 6 vampires who needed to avoid direct sunlight (no sparkling, no post-production except for Renesmee). The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008) movie was also filmed [30] in the Pemberton area. [31]

Porteau Cove, BC

Porteau Road, BC

Bella is spotted driving back from Seattle along a winding road by the sea. The footage is taken from the off ramp to Porteau Road on the Sea-to-Sky highway (BC-99) between Vancouver and Squamish. The exit is around the 94 km mark on the road and there's a convenient parking lot located northeast of the overpass. It's easy to spot the two 80 km/hour road signs that made it into final theatrical release of Breaking Dawn Part 2 .

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Breaking Dawn - Part 1 honeymoon scenes depicting Rio de Janeiro were really filmed on location in Rio de Janeiro . The establishing shots include footage of the landmark Cristo Redentor statue (Corcovado) and the Carioca Aqueduct (Arcos da Lapa). Edward and Bella hop out of their taxi to dance at a street party at 77 Avenida Mem de Sá and Rua do Lavrádio, located just down the street from the aqueduct. Edward's motorboat is shown in an aerial view speeding off the shore of Leblon and Ipanema Beach. A brief shot of Rio de Janeiro also appears in New Moon when Edward phones Bella's house. The filming location for Isle Esme is approximately 200km west of Rio de Janeiro in Paraty, Brazil.

Additional locations

• The Phoenix, Arizona scenes were actually filmed around Santa Clarita in southern California, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles. [4]
• Bella's mom's house is located at 22301 Cataro Drive in Santa Clarita. [32]
• The hotel in Phoenix where Bella, Jasper , and Alice hide out - is really the Hyatt Valencia at 24500 Town Center Drive, Valencia, California. [4]

Cascade Falls, BC

• Cascade Falls Regional Park [33] in Mission, BC has the high waterfall that Bella (or a digital stunt double) jumps over in the Breaking Dawn Part 2 hunting scene. Vistors and mere mortals should stick to the marked trails.
• The eco-conscious school trip is to Clackamas Community College, 19600 Molalla Avenue, Oregon City, just south of Portland. [4]
• A replica of Bella's house was built in Surrey, BC and used in New Moon and in subsequent films. The house has since been dismantled. The empty lot and surrounding forest is on 28th Avenue near 188th Street. [15]
• In New Moon Bella takes a plunge at the Outdoor Swimming Pool at Central Park [34] located in Burnaby, BC. The pool is on the east side of Boundary Road, across from East 46th Avenue in Vancouver.

Twilight Road Trip: Visiting Forks and La Push

Posted By: Julie Henning July 20, 2018

As reluctant as I am now to admit it, the Twilight Saga  book series by Stephenie Meyer somewhat influenced our decision to relocate to the Pacific Northwest from the Midwest in 2015.

Twilight Movie Scene Locations in Forks, Washington

In the decade since Forks became known around the globe as the rainiest town in America, visitors have sought out the small town where angsty vampires and hormonal werewolves struggled to co-exist around their obsessive friendship with the sheriff’s daughter.

Stop at the Forks Visitor Center

As you can see, I’m not alone in using the opportunity to travel under the guise of young adult fan fiction. This push pin visitor map in the Chamber of Commerce / Visitor Center is mind-boggling, right?

While we were in the area, we did manage to visit some other really great destinations in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, including the Olympic National Park (read our recommendations in this story ) and Cape Flattery (read about our adventure in this story ).

Not knowing exact demographics on the number of visitors or the impact on the local economy, I can only surmise the people of Forks have greatly benefited from Meyer’s choice of primary story location. In fact, you might expect the local tourism board to capitalize on this steady stream of national and international visitors.

Beyond Bella’s pickup truck (see the feature photo) and a small collection of magnets, bumper stickers, and t-shirts at the at the Chamber of Commerce and some branded gift shops running through the downtown business corridor,  super fans might be disappointed.

Book Your Stay in Forks

Key attractions for twilight fans.

Start at the “official”  Visiting Forks Twilight page and consider printing the point of interest map with key stops from the movie.

As an example, here’s the Swan house:

Swan House in Forks

And the Cullen house (interior shots maybe?):

Cullen House in Forks

And a wooden “treaty line” sign near the 110 turnoff to the coastal town of La Push:

Treaty Line

La Push doesn’t have much to do or see, but there are various hiking trails leading out to Second Beach (perhaps the highlight of the trip).

Downtown La Push

Overall, if you are making the mecca to Forks for the ultimate Twilight Saga experience, you will likely be disappointed.* If you are on a grand adventure through the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park, by all means, stop and snap a few photographs and go on a few hikes to fully appreciate the natural splendor of the region.

Ready to plan your trip to Forks and La Push? This hotel search box will take you right to places to stay in Forks, Washington. Add YOUR push pin to the board and send us your pics!

TWILIGHT FILMING LOCATION Stone Cliff Site

Stone Cliff Inn 17900 S. Clackamas River Drive Clackamas, Oregon

What a fun day it was to travel to some of the Portland area Twilight filming sites. They filmed here in May 2008.  It’s truly amazing to me that the locations are all so easily accessible. We just opened up the GPS and were on our way heading east of Portland.  I had hoped to get to three different locations and we were lucky to find them all.

The first locations are at Stone Cliff Inn in Carver overlooking the Clackamas River. Nestled amid the old growth trees at the base of the cliffs lie the huge basalt boulders and rooted pathways used for the filming. This area perfectly fits the description of the NW Washington rain forests. The trees are full of hanging moss and gorgeous foliage. Covering the ground are ferns, dirt pathways and large tree roots all wandering among the huge boulders. They used the location for several scenes. When filming began here it was raining but they were able to get short dry spells to shoot many of the scenes. The production crew brought in extra lighting which would reach into the forested area.  The original location they scouted to use was further east towards Mt Hood. However, when they returned to do the filming the area was covered in a light snow and they had to quickly come up with a second place to film.  Filming here below the cliffs proved to be a gorgeous location.  We were able to take photos that mostly matched those scenes in the movie.

• Take a Twilight-themed tour in Forks to see the homes and local attractions that inspired the Twilight novels.
• Enjoy Twilight-inspired dining experiences, such as trying the Bella Burger at Sully's Burgers and enjoying mushroom ravioli at Bella Italia.

Twilight , the famous vampire werewolf book series turned movie franchise, is set in the sleepy town of Forks, Washington. At the beginning of the story, Bella moves to Forks to live with her dad. This gloomy area of Washington screams supernatural. In fact, Washington is home to numerous spooky spots .

Forks has become a popular vacation destination for Twilight fans to visit. It is important to note, however, that the majority of the filming of the Twilight movies actually took place in Oregon . Since the town of Forks inspired Stephanie Meyers when she wrote the books, Forks is a perfect spot for Twilight book lovers to visit. See the Forks homes and local attractions that inspired the contents of the novel.

UPDATE: 2023/09/22 11:28 EST BY NOAH STAATS

This article has been refreshed with two new Twilight-themed things to do in Forks, Washington, and expanded points for existing stops. Although the films are completed, they will forever cement Forks as an icon. Have fun, and watch out for vampires AND werewolves!

16 Walk Through The Hall Of Mosses Trail

For those wanting to pretend they're in the Twilight saga, heading to the Hall of Moses hiking trail is worthwhile. After all, this eerie hiking trail runs along many of the scenery filming locations in the movie and is a .8-mile scenic loop. Walking along this path should be pretty straightforward, as it doesn't include any dangerous terrain or drop-offs. Especially after it rains, this hiking location will feel vampire-worthy, with many Twilight enthusiasts coming here each day to snap a photo (or two).

Just be cautious, however, of actual wildlife, as visibility on the Hall of Moses trail can become difficult as the sun lowers. Try avoiding this hike if it is not during daytime hours.

• Address : Hoh Valley Rd, Forks, WA 98331

15 Check Out Forks High School

Another way to reminisce about the good old days when Twilight first aired is to check out the city's high school, where scenes of the movie were based. David Thompson High School, Vancouver, BC (aka Forks High School) In New Moon and Eclipse, the Forks High School scenes were shot at David Thompson Secondary School at 1755 East 55th Avenue in Vancouver, so to *technically* see the same high school, one would need to go there. However, the movie was based on Forks High School, drawing many details from everyday life in this foggy town.

• Address : 261 Spartan Ave, Forks, WA 98331

14 Go On A Twilight Forks Washington Tour

Explore the beaches, rain forests, and other locations mentioned in the book "Twilight" and experience Forks' magic as Bella did. Twilight fans can visit the Chamber of Commerce to take a photo with Bella's trucks, check out the props and costumes from the films, experience Olympic National Park's splendor, and much more with this one-day Twilight-themed tour in Forks, Washington .

• Ticket Cost: From $265.00 per person
• Duration: 9 hours (approx.)

13 Enjoy A Delicious Bella Burger

Dining at Sully's Burgers, the restaurant where Bella and her father from the Twilight movie had dinner, is another incredible experience in Forks, Washington. Sully’s Burgers is a famous drive-in restaurant in Forks that also serves pizza, chicken, and ice cream, but a must-try is its Bella Burger, which draws Twilight fans to this amazing restaurant. For a Twilight fan, it's challenging to turn down such an alluring offer.

• Address: 220 N Forks Ave Forks, WA 98331
• Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday: 11:00 am - 9:00 pm

12 Try Mushroom Ravioli At Bella Italia

When Bella and Edward went on their first date, they ordered the same mushroom ravioli—now known as Bella’s ravioli—from this restaurant. The La Bella Italia Restaurant is a traditional Italian eatery serving fresh seafood, locally grown organic vegetables, and wines in the heart of Port Angeles. It is among the most popular activities to experience Twilight in Forks, Washington, and also provides a delicious dining experience.

• Address: 118 East 1st Street, Port Angeles, Washington, United States 98362
• Opening Hours: Thursday - Sunday: 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm

11 Attend The Forever Twilight In Forks Festival

Forks hold the four-day Twilight festival every September to honor the famous love story that made the city famous. Visitors have the opportunity to visit the beaches and rainforest from the books during this festival, as well as hang out with Saga actors, including the Cullen Coven, Jacob Black, the Volturi, and other characters played by the official FTF cast members. Additionally, they can be part of movie showings, panel discussions with the Saga actors, themed parties, events, and much more at Forks High School.

• When: September
• Tickets: $550.00 per person

10 Visit Dr. Cullen’s Parking Spot

First up on the list of Twilight -themed things to do in Forks, Washington, is to visit Carlisle Cullen’s parking spot. In the Twilight series, Carlisle Cullen is a well-known doctor in town. To pay tribute to this character, Forks Community Hospital reserved a parking spot for the vampire. In the parking lot, you will find a green sign with white lettering that reads, "Reserved Parking, Dr. Carlisle Cullen." This spot is a great photo-op and a fun way to kick off a self-guided tour of Forks.

• Address: 530 Bogachiel Way, Forks, WA 98331

9 Stay At Quileute Oceanside Resort

One main plot point of the books (and movies) is Jacob being descended from wolves (and eventually turning into a werewolf). Jacob is a part of the Quileute Tribe, and the real-life creation story of the tribe actually describes a Transformer changing the Quileutes from wolves to people .

A great spot to stay and learn more about Quileute culture is Quileute Oceanside Resort. This resort offers 33 oceanfront cabins, as well as ten camper cabins and a campground.

• Address: 330 Ocean Front Dr, Quillayute, WA 98350
• Booking website: Oceanside Resort Reservations

8 Stop By The Treaty Line

On your way into Forks, you must stop and see the Treaty Line. In Twilight , the vampires and werewolves have an agreement that the vampires will not cross over and hunt on Quileute land. This Treaty Line is the marker.

The sign itself states in large black letters, “No Vampires Beyond This Point.” The sign also features a painting of a wolf howling, along with the words “Treaty Line.” Since the sign is located on the side of the road, visitors are advised to park in the Three Rivers Resort parking lot and walk over to the sign.

• Address: 7764 La Push Rd, Forks, WA 98331

7 Stay In Jacob Black’s House

Did you know that you can actually stay in Jacob Black’s house? This cute red home that inspired Jacob’s house in the Twilight books is actually a vacation rental. It even features a dirt bike resting on the mailbox, similar to the bikes he fixes up with Bella in New Moon .

This picturesque vacation rental is located between two beaches, Rialto and La Push. It is also in a great area for hiking and fishing, and the rental also boasts an outdoor BBQ and fire pit.

• Address: 8320 La Push Rd, Forks, WA 98331
• Phone: (360)-640-0238

6 Visit The Cullen House

An interesting Twilight fact is that the super modern home depicted in the Twilight movies is actually the opposite of how Cullen’s house is described in the books. In the books, the Cullen family lives in an old farmhouse with lots of vintage charm. This older home in Forks was the inspiration for the Cullen home and even features a fun nod to the series with a mailbox donning the words “The Cullen House.” This building actually doubles as the Miller Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast, making it the perfect place to stay if you are Team Edward and do not want to spend the night in Jacob Black’s home.

• Address: 654 E Division St, Forks, WA 98331
• Phone: (360)-374-6806
• Amenities: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, free parking, free breakfast

5 Visit The Swan Residence

Charlie and Bella’s residence is another must-visit Twilight home in Forks. Again, this house won’t look like the one depicted in the movies but is rather the inspiration behind the Swan house in the books.

The current residents leaned into the building’s Twilight history by adding a sign outside the home that reads, “The Swan Home, being remodeled by Esme & Alice Cullen, Built in 1905.” Since this is someone’s actual home, remember to be respectful and enjoy viewing this Twilight landmark from a distance.

• Address: 775 K St, Forks, WA 98331

4 Explore The Forever Twilight In Forks Collection

This stop is for movie buffs. The Forever Twilight in Forks Collection is a Twilight -themed exhibit at the Rainforest Arts Center featuring various costumes and props used in the filming of Twilight . Visitors can see the screen-worn costumes of Bella, Edward, and Jacob, as well as the infamous Chuckesmee doll.

• Address: 11 N Forks Ave, Forks, WA 98331
• Hours: Monday-Thursday 2 pm, Friday-Saturday 2-4 pm (call ahead to double-check)
• Phone: (360)-374-2531
• Cost: free, but donations are appreciated

A four-day Twilight festival takes place annually at Forever Twilight, and next year’s festival dates are September 14-17, 2023.

3 Check Out Bella’s Trucks

Head on down to the Forks Chamber of Commerce to view Bella’s trucks. Yes, trucks are plural. One truck is modeled after the car she drove in the books, while the other is based on the truck she drove in the movies. After admiring the vehicles, pop into the visitor center to pick up a self-guided tour map and perhaps purchase a Twilight -themed souvenir.

• Address: Forks Visitor Information Center, 1411 S Forks Ave, Forks, WA 98331
• Hours: 10 am-5 pm daily

The “Forks Welcomes You” sign is also in this area, so be sure to snap a picture by the sign before heading to the next Twilight attraction.

2 Visit La Push Beaches

It’s La Push, baby! No Twilight tour is complete without visiting La Push. La Push is actually made up of three beaches, First, Second, and Third Beach. The glistening water and jagged rocks make for stunning scenery. One Yelp user even described La Push Beach as “The most spiritual place I’ve ever been!”

While it is not specified in the Twilight series which beach they are on, many Twilight fans suggest visiting First Beach. This beach is located near the Quileute Reservation and can be accessed by car. Spending time at La Push beaches and nearby Rialto Beach makes for an exciting trip and is one of the best things to do in Washington's Olympic National Park .

• Address: 47.9039614°N 124.6332702°W

1 Hike In The Hoh Rainforest

If you really want to feel like you’ve stepped into a Twilight movie scene, go for a hike in the Hoh Rainforest, one of the best things to do on a day trip from Seattle to Olympic National Park . While the movies were not filmed at this location, the lush greenery, tall trees looming overhead, and pine needles make you feel as if you are in the films. The Hoh Rainforest is located in Olympic National Park, which is home to many lodgings , such as Lake Quinault Lodge and Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort , which offer Twilight packages along with excellent amenities.

Consider venturing on the Hall of Mosses Trail, a 0.8-mile hike in the rainforest. You will see plenty of moss-covered trees and ferns on your hike.

• Address: Hoh Valley Rd, Forks, WA 98331
• Hours: 24/7
• Cost: $11.50 per day to enter Olympic National Park or use a Discover Pass

These Iconic 'Twilight' Filming Locations Actually Exist In Oregon & They're Free To Visit

It wasn't filmed in Forks, WA!

A woman in front of the "Cullen House". Right: A woman sitting at the Carver Cafe.

The Twilight saga quickly became a global literature phenomenon and the movies were no different. The popularity brought stardom to the actors and gave fans another reason to fall in love with the town. In fact, you can still visit the set locations.

Although the harrowing story of vampires and werewolves takes place in Forks, WA, most of the first film was shot in Oregon and a few spots sprinkled throughout the Pacific Northwest area of the U.S.

Many of the iconic places where the scenes took place still exist today and you can actually visit them all for free.

"The Cullen House" — 3333 N.W. Quimby St.

See on Instagram

Address: 3333 N.W. Quimby St., Portland, OR

Why You Need To Go: In the franchise, the Cullen family resides in an ultra-modern, sleek mansion surrounded by a lush forest.

The house used for filming actually exists right outside of inner-city Portland, OR, and you can stop by for a quick picture outside the place.

"La Push Beach" — Indian Beach

@morzsmordre on the way to Twilight La Push filming location 📍Indian beach OR. #twilight #twilightaesthetic #twilightsaga #lapush #fyp #rec #teamedward #lapushbeach #indianbeach #twilightfilmlocation #lapushbabylapush #oregon #forevertwilightinforks #forks #forkswashington #pnw

Address: 84318 Ecola Park Rd., Cannon Beach, OR

Why You Need To Go: For the fictional Forks' citizens, it was a treat to visit "La Push, baby." Surfing and whale watching was the thing to do.

The beach exists IRL, but it's instead called Indian Beach, which boasts various hiking trails and scenic viewpoints for Twilight fans to indulge in.

Carver Cafe

Address: 16471 OR-224, Damascus, OR

Why You Need To Go: Bella and her dad Charlie eat at the Carver Cafe several times throughout the movie.

The actual restaurant is tucked away in the middle of Oregon and welcomes "Twi-hards" to enjoy a meal in the exact booth Bella ate her burger at.

"The Swan House"

@rukiahitachiin A very detailed tour of the #Twilight House in St. Helens, OR! 😍 #twilighthouse #twilightswanhouse part 1.

Address: 184 S. 6th St., St. Helens, OR

Why You Need To Go: This quaint two-story home is where the Swans "live," and so many memorable scenes take place here.

Inside, the furniture looks quite identical to the pieces they had in the movie and the owners have even kept Bella's bedroom looking the same.

It's actually a rentable Airbnb for $400/night. However, with no availability through 2024, a free picture outside might be all fans will have to settle for right now.

"Forks High School" — Kalama High School

Address: 548 China Garden Rd., Kalama, WA

Why You Need To Go: The film didn't use the real Forks High School in Washington, but rather Kalama High School in the state.

Here, you can see all the iconic parking spots like where the Cullens would pile out of their Volvo and steal stares at Bella from across the lot.

It's free to stop by, but try to avoid visiting during school hours!

The Ultimate Twilight Tour in Forks, WA (Make The Books Come Alive!)

Post Summary: Twilight Tour In Forks + locations to visit

If you’ve spent any time as a millennial, chances are you’ve been exposed to the Twilight series , whether by the books or by the movies!

You know the series – the glittering vampires, hunky werewolves, and “Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?”

On our latest Olympic Peninsula road trip , we took the time to relive some of the book memories and scout out the Twilight book locations .

Through this, we put together an easy-to-follow Forks Twilight guide with pictures and even a downloadable map for you!

Ready to nerd our with us?

Set in Forks, Washington, this story follows a mere human, Bella, and her whirlwind romance between a sparkly vampire named Edward and a local werewolf named Jacob.

Through four separate books, you follow the drama that ensues right here in the Pacific Northwest !

In this post, we’re sharing real locations you can visit in Forks, Washington , that are mentioned in the books and movies.

Note: The Twilight filming locations and Twilight book locations vary to some degree. Here, we’re covering book locations in Twilight as described instead of actual filming locations (most of the movies were actually filmed in Oregon) so you purists out there can really get the full experience! Get Ready: The Complete Olympic National Park Packing List

The Ultimate Twilight Road Trip (Forks Twilight Guide)

First of all, where is forks, washington.

Forks, Washington is located on the Olympic Peninsula , about 4 hours away from Seattle, WA and 4.5 hours away from Portland, OR.

It’s a real town, albeit a small one, with a tight-knit community.

Part of a larger trip? Discover 30+ Things To Do In Washington State with a free 10-Day road trip guide!

People and businesses have REALLY embraced the Twilight fandom, and you can see it evident in nearly every store window with cardboard cutouts of Bella and Edward, special Twilight restaurant menus, and commemorative location signs around town.

Since the Twilight Saga was released, tourism to Forks has tripled and greatly increased revenue for the city. Hey, if it works for you, embrace the fandom!

The town is located in one of the rainiest places in the United States, with 1 10 annual inches per year , compared to an average of 38 inches around the United States. Forks, Washington also has an average of 212 rainy days per year.

We can see why vampires would want to pick a place like the PNW – they are protected from the sun practically all year long!

Where to Stay in Forks, Washington

As you follow this Forks Twilight Guide, you might want to stay in town to really soak it all in. Here are a few places we recommend as accommodations in Forks, Washington:

Pacific Inn Motel: This motel is a great place to crash while going through your Twilight Forks Guide. They even have a Twilight-themed room ! It has red walls, movie posters, and some other vampire-themed decorations. The room is quite popular, so make sure to book well in advance if you want to experience it.

Woodland Inns: This is where we stayed during our self-guided Forks Twilight Tour. These are small and separate cabins all in the same lot. They all have two queen beds, a small fully-stocked kitchen, a table, a bathroom, and a fireplace. We found it extremely comfortable and safe, and loved how close to town it was.

Miller Tree Inn : The Miller Tree BnB has actually been named the official Cullen House ! It looks nothing like the modern structure from the movies, but it’s actually very true to Stephanie Meyer’s description of the real Cullen House in the books.

Any Team Jacob fans out there? The Quileute Oceanside Resort is located in La Push, which is right in the center of the history and culture that defines Jacob and his tribe in the books.

Here, you can experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest coastline (First Beach is steps away!) and the thousands of years of indigenous Quileute heritage and history of the area.

A teeny bit farther but still very much in the heart of the moody PNW aesthetic are the Twilight-themed packages from the four unique lodges in Olympic National Park.

Get a third night free at the Lake Quinault Lodge , grab free hot spring passes at Sol Duc Hot Springs , or simply soak in the moody gray skies at Lake Crescent Lodge and their winter cabin rentals.

For more options, read: The Best Places To Stay Near Olympic National Park

Twilight Themed Dining Options

After a day of exploring with our Twilight Tour in Forks, here is some Twilight-inspired cuisine to stick to the theme of your trip.

Bella Italia : Bella Italia is located in Port Angeles, Washington. This is where Bella and Edward had their first date, and you can even order the same meal Bella did – mushroom ravioli. You can find this restaurant downtown by the Black Ball Ferry Terminal.

Sully’s Burgers : Sully’s Burgers offers a signature “Bella Burger” but they also serve things like ice cream and pizza. Sit down or park at the drive-in to eat in between stops on your Twilight tour in Forks!

Pacific Pizza : If you’re staying at the Woodland Inns, they are owned by the same people who own Pacific Pizza – which means free delivery! Pacific Pizza is known for its Italian food and pizza. You can ask for their special “Twilight Menu” if you feel like sticking to the theme of the trip.

Wait, where was Twilight filmed?

Despite the setting of the book being in Forks, Washington, the majority of the Twilight filming locations were actually in Oregon !

They kept all of the Washington names but ended up filming them off location for the most part. Probably because if you didn’t know any better, Fork’s dripping moss trees and perpetual rain easily make it one of the most haunted places in Washington . Perfect for vampires!

The reason? We’re not sure. Berty and I assume that the locations of the book were a little hard to reach with film crews, so they opted for bigger/grander scenes and easier accessibility in Oregon.

Not to worry though, there are still incredible Twilight book location places to check out here in Forks, which we’re sharing below!

Twilight Book Locations (Addresses and Descriptions)

To make this easy, we’re going to put these Twilight book locations in order to help you plan a seamless Twilight road trip .

This route will take you to all the Forks Twilight locations, the actual spots they were based on, and any other cool spots that commemorate this iconic PNW story!

1. Start Your Twilight Driving Tour in Port Angeles

Seattle to Port Angeles: 82 Miles (2.5-Hours) via Downtown Seattle-Bremerton ferry

Port Angeles is where you can stop to eat, and get the experience of walking around the quaint downtown area. Relive what it might have been like for Bella to go prom dress shopping and go on her first date with Edward.

For a Twilight-themed dinner, book a reservation at Bella Italia and try their mushroom ravioli!

Remember when Bella went prom dress shopping with her friends? The actual filming location for the dress shop was a place called Angel’s Hair Salon, located at 251 1st Street in St. Helens, Oregon . To make it look like a dress shop, they just hung dressed near the window!

2. The Treaty Line

Port Angeles to the Treaty Line: 2-hour drive, 62 miles.

On the way into Forks and to La Push Beaches, you’ll drive past the Treaty Line, Located at 7764 La Push Rd, Forks .

This is where the vampires and werewolves agreed that the Cullens will not cross onto their tribal lands . It’s supposedly a treaty that has been intact for centuries.

Tip: It’s located on the side of the road, but please don’t try and park next to it ! The Three Rivers Resort has a parking lot just past it, so park there instead and walk up to the sign from there to snap a picture!

3. Jacob Black’s House

Just past the Treaty Line is Jacob Black’s house, located at 8320 La Push Rd .

It’s right off the road and you can easily miss it if you aren’t looking ! If you choose to stop, please be courteous, as people may be occupying the house.

Rent this place for real if you are interested in sticking to the theme of your Twilight tour in Forks!

4. La Push Beaches (First, Second, and Third)

Just a little over an hour’s drive away from Port Angeles is La Push. “La Push Baby!”

La Push actually consists of three beaches, aptly named First, Second, and Third Beach.

While the Twilight series isn’t specific as to which beach it was, we can guess that it was probably First Beach . First Beach is the most accessible from the La Push and Quileute Reservation.

You can easily drive right up to the shore in an open parking lot, and take a walk along the shore.

Movie Fact: The actual beach they filmed at wasn’t even any of the La Push beaches! It was actually filmed in Indian Beach Oregon, close to Crescent Beach in Ecola State Park .

5. Quileute Community

Stephanie Meyer wrote in the werewolves to reflect significantly on the Pacific Northwest tribe, the Quileute Community, for Jacob Black’s clan.

According to ancient Quileute lore, their creation story includes the community originating from wolves and being changed to humans by a wandering Transformer.

Today, the community is recognized for its fishing abilities, specifically with sea mammals, seals, and fish.

To learn more about the rich history of the Quileute People in this area of Forks, please read more here .

6. Forks Community Hospital (Dr Cullen’s Parking Spot)

Remember Carlisle is a doctor? Well, he’s got a reserved parking spot just for him at the local Forks hospital!

Forks Community Hospital is located at 530 Bogachiel Way, Forks, WA 98331 . The sign is a little bit hard to find at first. Look for it near the administration building on 5th street.

Continuing your Forks Twilight Guide back into town, you can stop by the Forks Community Hospital . Here, you can find a parking sign specifically saved for Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

This is a cheeky way to reference the book, however, this was not the filming location of the hospital! It’s just a tribute to Carlisle and his medical practice. 🙂

7. Forks High School

If I’m being completely honest, Fork High School was probably the most disappointing stop on our Twilight tour in Forks.

The school itself is not disappointing – it’s actually very modern and a state-of-the-art building. But it’s definitely not the historic brick structure that we see in the movies. Quite the opposite! (That’s what I was expecting!)

You can still visit the outside of the school, but keep in mind that it’s a functioning place , with children present during school hours. Don’t be a weirdo and drive around or take photos when kids are outside!

Searching for the high school in the films? Kalama High School is where “Forks High School in the Twilight movies was filmed.

The address is 548 China Garden Rd, Kalama, WA 98625, about a 4-hour drive from Forks near Portland, Oregon)

7. The Swan Residence (Charlie and Bella Swan’s House)

The self-proclaimed Swan Residence from the book series is located at 775 K St, Forks, WA 98331 .

The owners erected a cute sign out in front to honor people’s Twilight tour in Forks, and you can spot an Edward cutout upstairs in the window!

Remember though, this is someone’s real house , so be respectful and just take pictures from the street. DON’T peek in the windows!

Looking for the Swan Residence from the Twilight movies? You can actually rent in on Airbnb in St. Helens, Oregon !

8. Forks Chamber of Commerce (Bella’s Truck)

Address: Forks Visitor Information Center, 1411 S Forks Ave, Forks

The first thing you’ll see when approaching the Forks Chamber of Commerce is not one but TWO red trucks ! These are the ones she drove in both the books and the movies. (Notice the cute “Bella” license plate!)

Generally, the opening hours for the Visitors Center are from 10 am-5 pm daily . They really lean into the Twilight theme (as do a lot of businesses in town) and you can purchase lots of Twilight souvenirs inside.

During your Twilight tour in Forks, the best chance of getting some good photo ops alone is in the mornings. This way, you can avoid the lunchtime crowds!

9. The Cullen House (From the Books)

Address: 654 E Division St, Forks, WA 98331

Another large division between the books and the movies is the location and description of The Cullen Residence.

In the movies, you’ll recognize the Cullen House by its flashy, modern, PNW architecture style. In the Twilight books, however, it’s quite the opposite!

The Cullen House in the books is a 100-year old white farmhouse with tons of character. This particular house (pictured above) matched the description from the books so well, that they proclaimed themselves the “official” Cullen house of Forks.

The owners pay tribute to the books by adding the Cullen name on their mailbox. For guests that come and visit, you can spot Carlilse’s office and the graduation cap artwork from the movies. Sometimes, Esme will leave notes on the board in the lobby, and occasionally the table is set Twilight-themed.

It’s a great stop, and and even better place to stay during your Twilight tour in Forks!

Want to see the Cullen House that was filmed for the movies? It’s a private residence. But you can still drive by and peek from the street.

10. Forks Police Station

The Forks Police station, located at 500 E Division St in Forks is where Charlie Swan would have worked.

They used to have a whole tribute and display to Charlie Swan , but it’s currently gone now. If you’re short on time during our Twilight tour in Forks, this is probably the one to skip.

If you DO visit, keep in mind that this is an actively working police station. In not sure if they would give you any tour or souvenirs if you visit the inside, but’s it’s worth a shot for your hardcore fans out there.

11. The Hoh Rainforest

Want to relive those moody scenes of Bella and Edward in the rainforest?

Most of the filming locations were in Oregon, but the true essence of the rain and greenery were inspired by the Hoh Rainforest !

To really immerse yourself, take a walk the iconic Hall of Mosses Trail , an easy 1-mile loop. It’s got stunning views of the dropping moss, green ferns, and smells of the rainforest.

Don’t forget your American The Beautiful Pass – this trail is in the Olympic National Park .

Don’t have a pass? Expect to pay the $30 day entrance fee to enter the park.

12. Forever Twilight

Address: 35 N Forks Ave, Forks, WA

If you want to see costumes, props, and other items from the movies , you have to visit the Forever Twilight Gallery ! It’s a free gallery to come and check out in the Rainforest Art Center.

They set this gallery up for tons of photo ops. The gallery includes a variety of things, like gifts from Italy (From the Volturi!) and Forks-centric items. They even have the animatronic baby used to play Renesmee!

This is a perfect stop for serious Twilight book fans . Want another great Twilight place to check out? Discover Native To Twilight Gifts Shop , located at 10 N Forks Ave, Forks, WA 98331.

FAQs about Twilight Tours in Forks

How long does it take to do a twilight tour in forks.

A self-guided Twilight Tour is Forks will take you a few hours for the in-town spots . All the Forks Twilight locations are pretty close to one another, Forks is not a big place!

If you are starting from Port Angeles, with a La Push beach stop during the day, plan for your Twilight Tour to take the entire day. (It’s worth it, we promise!)

Is there an “Official” Twilight Tour in Forks?

As far as we know, there isn’t an “official” Twilight Tour in Forks.

However, The Forks Chamber of Commerce has made their own town map for self-guided tours.

Often, local tour groups will have their own version of a Forks Twilight Tour. There’s no correct one – just book one that looks fun to you!

We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. Whether it’s horror , sci-fi , action , comedy , thrillers , or just the best of the year , we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they’ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That’s you.)

A little bit about me, your curator for this go round: I’m Pete Volk, our senior curation editor. I love movies of all stripes, but my main areas of interest are action movies (especially martial arts), classic Hollywood comedies (shout out to the GOAT, Ernst Lubitsch), and keeping up with new releases from around the world (I’ve tallied 156 2023 movies watched and 33 from 2024 so far).

Last week, I was on vacation, so I watched a lot of movies: Anyone but You , Identity , a rewatch of the Lord of the Rings movies, a rewatch of Dune before seeing Dune: Part Two , Argylle , Late Night with the Devil , and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One . The LOTR movies, Dune movies, and Late Night with the Devil were highlights, but I also enjoyed Anyone but You and the Justice League movie. On the TV side of things, I finished Shōgun (excellent) and Fallout (very good!), caught up on Abbott Elementary , Delicious in Dungeon , and X-Men ’97 , and watched some Elsbeth .
