Lost Filming Locations

A few of our listeners have asked about some of the locations where “Lost” is filmed. Some filming locations — such as the beach where the fuselage came to rest, or the “cave” set — are quite iconic, but we also wanted to share some of the spots where some smaller scenes have taken place. In addition to this list, be sure to check out our interactive map, and some “Lost” location photos.

Special thanks to: John Fischer, editor for About.com’s Hawaii/South Pacific for Visitors (and author of “In Search of Filming Locations for ABC’s Lost“), local “Lost” fan Christopher M., and the members of the HawaiiThreads.com message board for providing some of the details below.
