There are two Sharkeez here in LA that I know of, one in Manhattan Beach and one in Hermosa Beach. The Hermosa Sharkeez is located at the end of Pier Avenue, which lately is party central for the beach cities and usually has a line to get into the place. It has tikis, but is a lot like you describe the Santa Barbara. Both are more surf themed than tiki themed, have poorly made tropical drinks, all of which taste like a margarita. Hermosa gets the younger fake-ID crowd, Manhattan the older crowd. The food is pretty decent, such as the lobster burritos which are quite tasty. The drinks are mediocre, and despite the tikis at Hermosa I would not describe either as "tiki". A decent place to go to lunch by the beach in the middle of a stressful workday, though, if you can afford the time.
