When we first encounter our group of 48 crash survivors, they are gathered around the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815 which rests on the beach of an island somewhere between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, California. The actual filming location of the plane wreckage and most of the beach scenes in Season 1 of Lost was Mokule'ia Beach on Oahu's North Shore.

Traveling north from Central Oahu you most likely will be driving on Highway 99, the Kamehameha Highway. As you approach Hale'iwa town you'll want to look for signs for the Farrington Highway (Highway 930). As you drive west on the Farrington Highway, watch for Dillingham Airfield on your left. You'll pass Mokule'ia Beach Park on your right. The beaches that follow were the locations for principal shooting of Season 1 of Lost. Season 2 beach scenes were filmed at Police Beach near Haleiwa.

You can compare this shot to a screenshot of a scene from Lost on Lost-Media.com.
