Tiki Goddess... how funny you mention all this... I just returned from that area this evening, I've been in Melbourne visiting a friend and surfing since last Wednesday....

Saw the palm stump at the entrance to the pier... walked by it five times and thought maybe it was a tiki but didn't look closer...

When did you go to the tiki bar on the pier? It was open over the weekend, but not until noon I think... I saw it alot from the water while surfing...

Went by Mai tiki on Sunday but they were closed... drove by and drove around the back and saw many logs drying and that tiki you saw with the rootball hair laying in the yard...

Cocoa Beach is full of Mai Tikis... Many large ones in Ron Jon Surf Shop...(a bit touristy in there for me) and other spots around town...

There's another tiki carver in the area... down in Indiatlantic... there are tikis at the Florida Shave Ice stand next to Longbard House on A1A and two rootball tikis that stand at the entrance to Longboard House... there are also some tikis across from the boardwalk...

Saw a tiki hut by the side of the road in Satellite Beach and a sign advertising sales of them...

Saw the hotel you mentioned many times and it looked tiki from the outside but I didn't realize all that was there...

Oh yea... within Ron Jon is a huge foam tiki that is painted like rock... he stands 25 feet plus I think... I have some pictures... I'll post when I get them developed...
