Top 10 Celebrity Sightings on the SouthCoast

Lately it seems like Hollywood comes to the SouthCoast all the time.

Battleship Cove in Fall River was the backdrop for scenes in the Oscar-nominated "Don't Look Up," Paul Giamatti's latest film was just shooting at Fairhaven High School, not to mention "FinestKind" with big-name stars coming soon to New Bedford and Fairhaven.

But aside from all the filming in the area, Southern New England gets a lot of star sightings. People of all walks of life love to come to local beaches and islands and apparently the antiquing around here is travel-worthy as well.

Of course, the local restaurants usually become the place these big stars are seen. I mean, everyone's got to eat and when you're traveling, eating out is typically the way to go. With the nation's largest fishing port right in our own backyard, who wouldn't want to come here for the freshest seafood one can get without catching it themselves?
