Talk:The Island/@comment-74.62.199.114-20190812221958

The beach used for pilot episode is Moloaa Bay in Kauai, and some early episodes, and of course, the theme song just before revealing the cast. The episode where the boat becomes unglued is Zuma Beach in Malibu, California. The island in the last shot of the first season theme song is Sandy Cay, Bahamas, the bigger island in season 2 & 3 is Coconut Island, Oahu. Regarding the end credits of season 1, Gilligan is fishing in Moloaa Bay, this was taken from the unaired pilot, BUT, the rest of the cast is not sitting in the sand in front of the boat at the same beach. They are actually in Zuma Beach Malibu, this scene was pulled from the first episode, TWO ON A RAFT. So the end credits took place on TWO beaches. And the beach in the end credits of season 2 & 3 is the fake lagoon set in Studio City California on the CBS studios lot, Radford. The season one marina is Ala Wai Yacht Club in Honolulu. The season 2 & 3 marina is Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach, California. BTW, there were at least 4 Minnows used, possibly 5.
