Secluded beach and site of TV's Lost
Camp Erdman’s Beach is a secluded location near the western tip of Oahu. This Beach stretches roughly half a mile from Farrington Highway down to the Camp Erdman YMCA, one of the TV series Lost filming locations. Many visitors utilize the beach front for overnight camping, and gathering with friends and family. After sunset, this beach is a wonderful spot for stargazing, but pack a blanket and warm clothes for those windier evenings.
Although the beach doesn’t supply any facilities, there is plenty of activities to do here like canoeing, kayaking, surfing, fishing, kiteboarding, scuba diving, snorkeling and sailing. Additionally, it’s beautiful sandy beach provides a perfect place for sunbathing and picnicking.
For those who want to swim at Erdman’s we suggest starting near the YMCA camp, as the waters are here are less rocky than on the west and north side. It is also recommended to be weary of the waters during the winter months as they can get very choppy and dangerous for even trained swimmers.
