Production
CSI: Miami was filmed primarily in the United States. Indoor scenes were shot at Raleigh Manhattan Studios in Manhattan Beach, California. The majority of all outdoor scenes were filmed in Long Beach, California, as well as portions of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. Beach areas of Downtown Long Beach were often used for other outdoor scenes: Marina Green Park and Rainbow Lagoon Park. The newly constructed high-rise condos there gave the pretense of being in Miami.
Many outdoor location shots were also filmed in Miami-Dade County, Florida including Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach.
The sculptured walkway paying tribute to the old Pike Roller Coaster can be seen in the background in the episodes "Wrecking Crew" and "Under The Influence". Footage from the Biscayne Courthouse, visible prominently in the episode "Recoil", among others, was filmed at the Water Garden Park in Santa Monica, at 34.028728, -118.471331.
Other locations of Long Beach are used such as the Naples district, where its canals and upscale homes with large boat docks and palm trees give a feel of Miami.
The building used for exterior shots of the Miami-Dade Police Department crime lab is actually the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Credit Union headquarters located at 14600 Aviation Boulevard in Hawthorne, California.
The series was canceled by CBS after the 10th season, making it the first series in the CSI franchise to be canceled.
