Did you know the beach from the TV show Lost is close to Turtle Bay Vacation Rentals?  That’s right, stay in Turtle Bay and you can visit the location of the crash-landing of Oceanic flight 815.

Mokuleia Beach, also known as Army Beach, on Oahu’s North Shore can be easily visited when staying at Turtle Bay.  In addition to the Pilot episode airplane crash-landing, Mokuleia beach was also used in later episodes.

Unfortunately, the lush green tree on Mokuleia Beach the characters sat beneath in multiple episodes has been burned down.  The balance of the beach is still pristine.

Mokuleia Beach Scene From Episode 1 of Lost

Mokuleia Beach borders some of the last undeveloped parts of the North Oahu shoreline, which makes it a great beach.  The morning is a prime time to visit.  The coral sand and clear blue water is beautiful in the morning sun.  You may even see kite surfers and hang gliders in the distance.

From Turtle Bay, take Farrington Highway930 West.  Look for Dillingham Airfield on the left hand side.  When the vegetation on the right hand side of the road ends, you’ll see Mokuleia Beach Park.  The beach location where the set was is near the end of the paved road as the beach extends down to Kaena Point.  Keep going west to see the beaches for the tail section crash site.

Look closely and you will find them.  Yes, you can find the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle at the Turtle Bay Resort. Look for shadows moving in the water and pretty soon you’ll see the turtles come up for air.   The turtles like to visit the various bays of Turtle Bay Resort to munch on sea grasses, seaweed and algae.

The North Shore of Oahu Hawaii hosts one of the Turtle’s favorite places to do so at Laniakea Beach, which is just east of the Turtle Bay Resort and the Turtle Bay Vacation Rentals.

About every third year after reaching maturity  the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle returns to nest at the French Frigate Shoals. The arriving turtles come from up to a thousands of miles where pairs will mate and bury hundreds of eggs.

Fun fact about the Turtles on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii:
1) their weight can reach as much as 200 lbs.
2) it take them about 25 – 30 years to reach maturity
3) their sex is not determined by their parents rather by the temperature of the sand during incubation
4) the incubation period takes up to 70 days
5) for the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle the temperature at which an equal number of male and females turtles will hatch is 83 degrees Fahrenheit
6) like many tourist (but unlike may of their turtle cousins)  the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle lays on the beach to soak up sun
