Shipwrecked
A well advertised location spot though pinpointing it is not exactly easy. SJ

Harrison before development came to Marigot Bay, St Lucia.
This is "Doolittle's" Restaurant, well placed for cashing in on the fame of the film. They do seem to spell it with the extra "o" and it's spreading on internet sites. SJ

Eggar and Harrison.
And there's been a lot of development which may have shifted the sandbanks a bit. SJ

- 'Now' required
But this somewhere else, possibly the Atlantic side of St Lucia.

In comes the giant snail into Marigot Bay
Now: the right coastline. SJ

Panning right.
Now, with a nice yacht or two. The strip of beach still has palms but a wall has been built up, so I've taken this from sea level. SJ

Last shot, supposed to be an aerial of the above, surely a fake.
