Turtle Bay, Oahu

[2] One of the last undeveloped areas on Oahu, Turtle Bay is recognized for its rock formations, wild coastal beaches, threatened green sea turtles and endangered Hawaiian monk seal[3] habitats, whale spottings, traditional fishing areas, small local agricultural lots and Hawaiian ancestral burial grounds.

[9][10] Located just north of the famed Banzai Pipeline, Turtle Bay is the site of the Rainbows Break surfing spot.

[13] The prologue to the 1974 film Death Wish, depicting Charles Bronson and Hope Lange as a married couple on vacation, was shot in Turtle Bay.

[14] With its rock formations and constant rolling surf, Turtle Bay served as a backdrop for the ABC TV series, Lost.

In addition to outside locations, a World War II-era bunker in the area was used as both an Iraqi Republican Guard installation and a Dharma Initiative research station.

[15] On 25 March 2012, the Discovery Channel's MythBusters TV show episode, "marooned on a desert island" with only duct tape and a few other items, was filmed on location at Turtle Bay.
