Thanks! Interesting possibility....

I don't know much about the area, so forgive my ignorance - I thought White Point/Whites Point was just the name of the area. Was there a bar/restaurant/hotel called "White's Point" in the late 1950s? Google was not helpful.

While this is not the tiki bar you are looking for, Google does show that there was indeed a resort/hotel/spa at White's Point San Pedro much earlier than 1959. This resort was shut down in the late 1930's and the federal government demolished the resort and fortified the shoreline during World War II. In 1960 the state of California bought the area for a state beach.
