Where was the landing scene in paradise island filmed?

Hell, I'm trying to help a friend out who is in the Bahamas. Does anyone know where it is?

Not really Memorabilia, Collecting & Clothing related. Better off in Bond Film or Bond Chat forums.

And you need more info, are you talking Paradise Island in Thunderball or Casino Royale??

Casino Royale. If a moderator wants to move this thread. I would oblige.

You sparked my curiosity about this and from some quick research using Google Maps, I believe I've determined that scene where Bond gets out of the plane as being filmed approximately at this location;

25°05'02.7"N 77°19'29.4"W

Bond Collectors' Weekends

The landing scene where Bond infamously gets off the plane in Atlantis, and then rents a car that he drives miles away on a different island, so he can get to the One&Only Ocean Club (adjacent to Atlantis!), was filmed at the seaplane landing site that is now replaced by waterfront Atlantis rentals (facing New Providence on the south side of Atlantis).

There was a tragic accident at the site, someone was killed not long after filming, and also the Atlantis income was raised steeply by building more Atlantis units over the site.

This is the kind of info I divulge on my Bond locations tours. I have multiple events coming up this year. Please join us!
