    Director Steven Spielberg

    Principal photography for “Jaws” began on the island of Martha’s Vineyard,
    Massachusetts. The location was chosen because the surrounding ocean
    had a sandy bottom that never dropped below 35 feet out from shore which
    allowed the mechanical sharks to operate.
