Aloha,
I am not familiar with the Long Beach area yet. I live near the downtown area by the beach. When is the next tiki event?

MtKahuna: Are there a lot of Pacific Islanders here in Long Beach?

Teine,
No just me and my family.....
Jus Kidding. Yes, there are quite a few Islanders in the South Bay. Many reside in Carson, Gardena, Long Beach, or Oceanside.

In fact, there are more Samoans in SoCal than there currently are on the island.

To meet other islanders, check the Hawaiian Civic's Club, The Office of Samoan Affairs, or The Pacific Islander Association. There is always an event going on.

Although, Tiki Central is the BEST place to meet hard core tiki enthusiasts. :tiki:
