A little trivia about "Gilligans Island" introduction.  Many scenes were filmed in Hawaii using Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay for the island in the distance.  The marina shot was Ala Wai harbor near Waikiki.  In one quick marina sequence,  there is an American flag at half staff in the distance.  The scene was scheduled and shot the day after Kennedy died.

Yes. Even more trivia...even though it was a Paramount production, the lagoon scenes were at Universal Studios. That 'lagoon' is now the Jaws part of the Universal tour. Lastly, when filming the lagoon scenes, you can hear the background noise from the Hollywood Freeway! Really!

Although the pilot was filmed in Hawaii, the entire series was filmed inside and outside at CBS Studio Center. The pilot had cast changes so they were able to use some of the footage eventually for the series. The 1st season B & W closing credits with the gang on the beach was a built prop Minnow, not looking anything like the "Minnow" they used in Hawaii. These scenes and the scenes of exploding collapsing "Minnow" were both done at Point Dume State Beach in Malibu, CA. The Greens Dept. stuck a palm tree in the sand of this famous desert beach.

CBS Studio Center in Studio City, Los Angeles, CA was where the show was filmed and where the lagoon was built. The hut camp scenes were all inside the sound stages.

The Lagoon was constructed at the CBS Studio Center back lot. It was located about half a mile from an interstate roadway and the sounds of rush-hour traffic often resulted in huge delays in filming. The location was originally Mack Sennett's studio in 1927 now it's Radford Studio.

The lagoon has been filled in - the new building is at Gilligan Island Road and Gunsmoke Avenue.  https://profetaroyalty.com/cbs-lagoon-building.html

CBS still has Television City at Beverly and Fairfax. It's built over a historical auto racing site. The Gilmore family had Gilmore Oil and still owns Farmers Market next door. They are sill pumping up crude in the area.
Gilmore Stadium is often billed as the first track purposely built for the new style of racing. The track hosted midget car racing from the track's debut in May 1934 until 1950.
Rodger Ward drove Vic Edelbrock's midget car in a famous August 10, 1950 event at Gilmore Stadium. Ward shocked the racing world by breaking Offenhauser engine's winning streak by sweeping the events at Gilmore Stadium that night.
In the sixteen years of the stadium's existence, over 5 million fans attended races at the track. The stadium drew crowds over 18,000 people each race. Attendance dropped to below 9,000 at normal weekly races by the late 1940s. The attendance drop and increased demand for property in West Hollywood led to the track's sale in 1950. It was torn down in 1951. Some of its grandstand was installed at Saugus Speedway.

Just to clarify, the pilot was never filmed in Hawaii, just the opening song  sequence.

Incorrect on the location and lagoon. I know this as I filmed many shows there.  CBS Center Studio, in Studio City was where the interior sets were filmed. The lagoon was at Universal Studios. Just like the Hitchcock film "Psycho" was a Paramount production, yet the psycho house was filmed at the Universal backlot. And also, "Gilligan's Island" was not filmed in Hawaii...only the 'B' roll footage was. CBS Television City on Sunset near Fairfax is where television shows were filmed/taped in front of a studio audience. Most famous for 'The Price is Right", "All in the Family" and 'The Carol Burnett Show" among others.
