In Lorcan Finnegan's psychological thriller 'The Surfer,' Nicolas Cage plays a father revisiting his childhood surfing spot in Australia, only to confront territorial local surfers. Set against the backdrop of Western Australia's beautiful but claustrophobic beaches, the film examines the complex relationship between place, identity, and nostalgia. Finnegan chose a unique filming location in Yallingup for its scenic beauty and emotional resonance, enhancing the film’s dreamlike quality and themes of isolation and conflict in surf culture.
In the film, the Surfer (played by Nicolas Cage) brings his son to his childhood surfing spot in Western Australia - only to be pushed to the edge by a domineering group of local surfers.
The beach had beautiful turquoise water, golden sands, good surf breaks, a cliff backdrop, and the car park overlooking it was the perfect size.
