Amazing experience as a fan of LOST. Seriously felt like it was a place I'd been at before and spent time at. The trees are all the same, even where Eko's church was, those trees are still the same. Can imagine the camp set up when you go there.
Beach is hidden and can be tricky to find if you don't know where to look.

But, if you want to see some turtles, it's a...
Read moreWhat an incredible, gorgeous location! Beware, it does get very breezy here and also may not be best for swimming during the Winter months. Still it really makes me envious of the cast and crew who were able to come and work in such a glorious place.
Do not leave trash, please; this beach is very sensitive and all litter will only be left to accumulate and damage the area due to its isolation. Do be very careful in the Winter, due to swells and generally hazardous conditions at the shoreline -- take your safety seriously, as with anywhere on the North Shore during the Winter, or you won't even live...
