Daytona Tiki Finder website

Daytona Tiki Finder The Daytona Beach area has managed to hang onto its tiki restaurants and bars while some other seaside locations have lost theirs to development and "progress" in the 1980s.

A new website, Daytona Tiki Finder, acts as an online guide to Tiki Bars, Beachfront Bars and poolside pubs in the Daytona Beach area. It also includes attractions, events and non-tiki things to do while visiting Daytona.

Not to get all technical here, but all these places are of the Florida beachside/Caribbean/Jimmy Buffet school of tiki. What they call tiki huts really should be called Chicki huts because they certainly more resemble what the Seminoles built in the Everglades than anything else. The music you hear will be loud rock and roll and don’t even get me started on the cocktails! You can’t go more than 100 feet anywhere beachside in the state of Florida without hitting a place like those mentioned on this web site. Nothing to see here. Please move along.

Agreed, the modern bars don’t hold up. But there’s still Julian’s, Aku Tiki Traders & the Aku Tiki Inn. At least you can look around and enjoy what once was.

Though I totally agree with what you say about the school of tiki Daytona Beach represent I do believe that it is still a valid form of the original tiki bars that once pervaded the entire country. Though Daytona Tiki Finder is mostly a tourist’s guide to Daytona Bars I am noticing a swing back to the old classical style once found in almost every state in the country. Without defending the Beachside/Caribbean/Jimmy Buffet school of tiki I must point out that arguably , this is a valid extention of what the original tiki bars where all about.

This type of place is some peoples first exposure to Tiki Culture and often will give people an easy to digest first exposure to what Tiki Culture is all about! Though Tiki Bar purists may not like every bar listed, I think there is a little something for every level of Tiki enthusiast.
