The mermaids from the series feature a terrifying beauty. They are incredibly strong creatures, who can transform their bipedal appearance in contact with water. A lot more of them are coming in Season 3!

The list of locations in Coquitlam, according to Whatsfilming.ca, includes Scott Creek Middle School, a house on Harbour Dr, and Riverview Hospital (pictured).
This last location is a very versatile set of buildings. It has been used in lots of films and TV shows like Altered Carbon, Riverdale, Sabrina, or Nancy Drew just to name a few.
The cast and crew were also recording scenes in Burnaby at Hart House Restaurant (located within Deer Lake Park), and at the Former Burnaby Youth Detention Centre.

In the second season, Ben's cabin for newly arrived mermaids is the caretaker’s cabin in Murdo Frazer Park on Vancouver's North Shore, near the Pitch and Putt Public golf course.
This spot often appears on movies and TV shows; This is one of the locations where Virgin River was filmed.
