Anyone make it to the Space Coast? I am a 7th generation Florida and Brevard native here. You got good advice about FL tiki places you asked about. Hey glad to see you moved to the area there are lots of tiki collectors over here most of us are wood carve collectors only, but we have great mug collectors too. Where about at UCF if you don't mind me asking (alumni here)? A large FSU fan I retired as a professional UCF student there in '05 with my second masters and a close friend is working there now. Have you seen the local artists we have 7 here using different mediums among them but all very unique. I try to pick up one new piece carve per year they seem to change styles a lot more here. I rented 50 of them for my wedding reception location last May from one artist and bought three more for my own collection in the process and he gave us carved twin honus one green sea and one loggerhead for a gift and they are so treasured. If anyone says hit Port Canaveral's Tiki Bar go when there isn't an offshore tournament and it isn't busy its a name only not much tiki if any out there, but decent drink prices sometimes. Let us know if you want to meet and chat as a native I LOVE to meet folks from other areas it gives us locals a taste of something so different!
