I recently rented the old TV show "Son of the Beach" on DVD.

If you have never seen it, it was/is a parody of Bay Watch and was very well written, it poke fun at everything Bay Watch and was pretty funny and risque for TV at the time.

Volume One, Disk 1 has an episode called "Two thongs don't make a right". The religous right and the mayor conspire to ban thongs from the beach. While every one is busy enforcing or protesting the ban, a little boy falls in a hole and almost dies. The episode ends with an beach party dance number called "Do the thong, shake your naked booty all night long". There is a tiki bar and a huge stone Maoi head in the background. Anyone know where it was filmed?

Here are some screen shots, sorry about the quality.
The full Moai head is not in the frame for very long.
