Any tiki in Virginia Beach? - General Tiki

There was (still is?) a very small Naval Museum called the Tiki Tai down on Atlantic Ave. The owner/curator is a WW2 vet and I suspect that he spent some time in the south Pacific, hence the name. Don't let the Mai Kai Resort's name get you excited. If you're military or a DoD employee, Ft. Story has its semi-famous "tiki bar" on the beach at the Ft. Story Inn. Not really a tiki bar, but it serves booze and it's in the best location in the entire VA Beach area. There's a good source of inexpensive pufferfish in all sizes, cheasy VA Beach tiki mugs, and assorted nautical bric-a-brac down on the southern end of the beach. That's all I know of - if you find anything when you're down there, let us know! [ Edited by: Iolani on 2004-05-26 08:42 ]
