Sandler's Backyard: North Shore Comedies

Six Adam Sandler-era comedies shot at real lakes, beaches, and towns north of Boston

Film crews come to Marblehead for streets that can pretend to be anywhere. Here is what they used. Six stops over 104.2 miles, about four hours of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

Marblehead has two MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
