I'm crazy for always thinking up strange ideas, but I have serious question:
What would your price point be to attend an authentic, on the California sand, 60's style beach party, 50' from the ocean, with bonfires, sand chairs, and stage with entertainment including a true, first wave, early 60's surf guitarist and band, held at a 'beach house' facility with a full bar,'Lounge' music D.J., and the legal permits to take your booze on the beach for the show(very hard to do in California)?

That was a poor English run on sentence, that sounds way too much like a sales pitch, but I wanted to get all the points in. This would be in Monterey in the fall when the weather is nicest. A hotel that's o.k with room parties, would be set up as the official headquarters for the weekend (but not necessary to attend the beach party). Possibly some daytime vending happening too.

If staying for the night the whole package could probably be done for around $300 to $350 a couple. Less of course if sharing rooms.

Think about what luaus cost in Hawaii when responding. Unfortunately an event like this can't come cheap, and if food was needed to make it enticing that would drive the cost up the way a catered wedding costs, but I've talked to some people about doing something like this and they've said they'd be interested. It would be a mellower Tiki vacation more than an event. Something different but very unique.
