Much of the show's drama unfolds in Cousins Beach, a fictional seaside town that Belly's family visits every summer. However, viewers rarely see the Conklins in their hometown, which author and showrunner Han does not specify in the books. But the show drops hints about the Conklins' real residence.

Where do the Conklins live in The Summer I Turned Pretty?

In season one, it was hinted that the Conklins live in Pennsylvania because their family car has a Pennsylvania license plate.

Later in the show, it was confirmed that they live in Philadelphia. During a conversation with his ex-girlfriend Shayla, Belly's brother, Steven (played by Sean Kaufman), revealed that he "grew up in the suburbs of Philly."

Where do the Fishers live?

The Fisher family is confirmed to live in Boston, Massachusetts in the books and the show. They annually travel to Cousins for vacation.

As for Cousins itself, Han drew inspiration for the fictional town from several places across America. "Cousins is inspired by a lot of different beaches," she told TODAY back in 2022.

The author went on to explain that she was inspired by Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, alongside The Hamptons in Long Island and Nags Head in North Carolina.

She believes the generic beach town is familiar to readers across the globe. "I think it's why these books have really resonated with people all over because. Everybody has like a beach they've been to as a kid, so people like in Sweden or in Vietnam can imagine their own."
