So the popular destinations would be the Fork's High school which is the school Bella and Edward attend, the beach located in La Push where Bella finds out the truth about Edward and the restaurant in Port Angeles where Bella and Edward have their first date. Parts of the movies were filmed in Washington and actually used but ironically Fork's high school wasn't used for the film is another hotspot for the fans of the franchise. The actual locations for the Fork's high school were filmed at Kalama High School and R. A. Long High School (still in Washington) but also in Oregon at Madison High School, Corbett Elementary School, Clackamas Community college and St. Helens High School.
