The Shawshank Redemption filmed at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, Frederiksted. This beach, a turtle nesting site with limited opening hours, stands in for the Mexican coast where the friends reunite. On screen it's Zihuatanejo.
Probable Named in published production coverage; the coordinate is the place itself, checked against a gazetteer. This is an area, not a spot. The coordinate is its middle, so use it to navigate to the place and not to line up a shot.
Venture keeps every scene location on one map, sorted by how far you'd have to walk. Open it in Frederiksted and it tells you what was shot around you, how to get there, and whether you can actually go in.
