Yes Chroma, I'm sure you are right.
We did go around the rock I'm kneeling at and did see the "Pirate's Cove" Section and thought the very same thing, that that section of similar yet different rocks was the actual spot. It' weird though, that in the movie, they show that Pirate Cove area where the caves are and where Zaius is tied up, but they make it seem that Heston and Nova travel a great distance from there to discover the Statue, which would actually be right to the right of the caves in reality and right there. I guess they had their choice to use either site, which both would have worked and could have both been manipulated matte wise for there liking.!
Franklin J. Schaffner (while being one of the most underrated directors in history!) was very clever how he shot the short journey Taylor and Nova make up the shoreline up to the ruins of Lady Liberty using such limited acreage. Some of it was shot in Pirates cove (cleverly framed), some of it is from the tower on Zuma Beach, but most of it was shot around the south/eastern point from Pirates Cove. Through the magic of film editing and much brilliant music from Jerry Goldsmith and—voila!
P.S. Zooba, I keep telling you much more Apes goodies are in the pages of Simians & Serialism (Sale priced now!) Ack! Shameless plug! Zooba...resistance is futile!!
