I would categorize this more as a Caribbean Beach Bar than a Tiki Bar. The place is cool and worth a visit, but when I was there, the Tiki Bar had no Tiki. It consisted of the main building, which has shutters that open up to reveal bar seating (outdoor) and a few seats inside. The rest of the area was sand, right on the Intercoastal, and a bunch of those plastic lawn chairs and tables you buy at Wal Mart. According to my friend, this place used to be a bait shack for the marina and then started to sell beer by the bottles. Apparently the beer prospered more than the bait and became their main product. That brings up another subject that I'll post in the main discussion. After looking at my home Tiki Bar, a friend asked "Isn't tiki the same as Caribbean?"
