It was an uncharted, meaning unnamed, island, remember?

Actually it was a studio lot in Studio City, California.

The island you see in the distance at the beginning theme of the second and third season is an actual island called "Coconut Island" or Mokuoloe. It is located in Oahu's Kaneohe Bay and is the home of the Institute of Marine Biology.The two tall pine trees in the middle of the island are still standing after all these years! It's a privately owned island and the University of Hawaii Oceanography and Marine Biology and Research people use it.On 2 sides of Kaneohe bay is a coastal highway and rural residential area, and on a third side is a large Marine Base, "Kaneohe Marine Corps Base Hawaii." It's actually a Marine Air Station, with Marine Corps Fighter Pilots - among them the famous "Death Angels" are stationed there. It also has a large contingent of Marine Infantry.On the 4th side of Coconut Island is open sea. It is located in a bay, after all. By the way, the island of Oahu means "The gathering place." Oahu is not the biggest Island in the Hawaiian chain, but it was the Island with the largest population of the old Hawaiians.

Thanks for the info Céline. I've often wondered the answer to KUK's question as well.

Hmmm, interesting. My nieces are going to Hawaii next week, i should tell them to visit that area.
Also Zuma beach is very near my city. Catalina Island, is a very beautiful island. It is right off my coast here. You can see it all the time when there is no fog. It is abt a 45 min. boat ride away. It's true abt the palm trees. but with everything Catalina has to offer, who needs palm trees.
