Question: What sequel to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time was shot in Navarre Beach in 1977?
Answer: Jaws 2
Most of Jaws 2 was shot at Navarre Beach because the weather was warm and the water was deep enough for the shark platform. Navarre’s Holiday Inn Holidome was used as the film’s headquarters, with the ground floor converted into production offices and some of the Gulf-front suites remodeled for David Brown and Roy Scheider. Universal rented 100 of the hotel’s 200 rooms, spending $1 million. The Holiday Inn was destroyed in the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.
