Answer 3

Googling around:

The lagoon in "Gilligan's Island" was on CBS's Studio City back lot.  The lagoon was built for the show in 1963 at a cost of $75,000.  Dead trees were planted and dressed with palm leaves. Landscapers added tropical greenery, some live, mostly plastic.  The lagoon was 4 feet deep with a working waterfall.  The pilot contained footage of Kauai Island in Hawaii (Moloa'a Bay,  to be exact).  This footage was sometimes recycled in the first season episodes.  Later they shot color stock footage of Zuma Beach near Malibu and filmed some outdoors scenes at Franklin Canyon in Beverly Hills.   You should also know that Russell Johnson (The Professor) says that the lagoon on the Universal Studio tour that guests are told is from "Gilligan's Island,"  was never used on the series. The Universal lagoon was only used in one of the re-union movies.
