I lived on Kwaj 1960 - 1962 and it appears that the few scenes of long deserted island coastline were that of Bigei a little north of of Ebeye. That was a great island to go snorkling which I did many times as a kid. Once in awhile, they would have these free trips to Bigei on one of those old WWII Mike boats where they would dock and let you off for about eight hours and let you hit the water or beach and head back to Kwaj at the end of the day. Miss those days.
This video is of my daughter and some of her friends. She grew up in the islands. Brings back pleasant memories. But we lived out there so long, I couldn't wait to return stateside. Now I miss Kwaj! It was a great place to live.
Not true about not being interesting to anyone not in it. I haven't even been there since '89 or '90 and it was interesting to me. Thanks for posting.

70 thru 72 rode a bicycle painted up like "Easy Rider", extended fork, etc.
No TV then, just talked and smoked with each other. Best sound systems with CCR blasting through the night on weekends.
Moonless nights firing off strobes into that black sky. Trippin' our asses off.
Irreplaceable friends.
Kwaj forever.

What a wonderful time we had on Kwaj. The stuff we used to do was a little crazier, but basically the same
