Description:
During a recent trip to Myrtle Beach, SC, I checked my copy of "Tiki Road Trip" to see if there was any tiki to be found. It did mention a miniature golf course called "Hawaiian Rumble" with a working volcano. What I found was a course called "Tribal Island" that had a working volcano (they must have changed the name). I enjoyed it as did the kids. The volcano is guarded by 3 huge tiki's and it erupts every 10 minutes or so when you begin to hear the tribal music (see pics below). The only thing that bothered me was some of the music that played sounded more Caribbean than Polynesian (steel drums?).

A little further down Hwy 17 I found a tiki store called "Tiki's Woodcarvings." They make some absolutely beautiful pieces by hand (with chainsaw). The prices range from around $40.00 to several hundred. I couldn't resist picking up one and they shipped it to my home in TX where it now sits in my entryway (see pic). They're located at 860 Hwy. 17 in N. Myrtle Beach ph. 843-272-1353.

Also in N. Myrtle Beach is a place called "Coconuts Tiki Bar and Grill." Avoid this place. I ordered a Mai Tai and got Hawaiian Punch with Rum and there were no tikis anywhere.
