In Arrested Development, the Bluth Banana Stand scenes take place at Oceanside Wharf on Balboa Island, but the scenes are shot here at Fisherman's Village in Marina del Rey. Specifically, right next to the fake lighthouse.

Mitchell Hurwitz based the banana stand stories on the cookie stand that he worked at with his brother. As the Chipyard website reads: "Michael and Mitchell’s father, Mark Hurwitz, found and rented a small, abandoned taco stand on the bay at Newport Beach, California." The stand has transformed into a shop called Boston Chipyard in Quincy Market, Boston.
