Hilton Head Island, South Carolina has had a beach-side tiki hut for decades, (with awesome frozen drinks, too!)
This tiki hut is right on the beach behind the Holiday Inn. It has road access, faces a volleyball court and beyond that, the ocean. On every visit I've made out to the area, this was a mandatory stop.

The Holiday Inn however, is facing plans to become a massive condominium complex. The Tiki Hut would be demolished for a residents-only barbecue area. To me, this is a classic example of short-term thinking, and will deny tourists this experience.

There is a petition in place to stop the "Bonus Density" plan that will enable developers to do this.
To assist in the preservation of The Tiki Hut, please go to http://www.savethetikihut.com to read up on the plans. There is a link to the petition, too. Every signature helps.

Thank you,
