Tiki Apartments - Redondo Beach

Redondo Beach, California, United States

This Redondo Beach apartment building is from the '60s and still has plenty of tikis, both in front of the building and in the pool courtyard. It's particularly notable for its large, beautifully lettered sign that simply says "Tiki". It is just blocks from the beach.

Some of the apartment building's tikis are speculated to have been carved by students of Trader Luke, Mike & George Gildea (and friends from Manhattan Beach), who were known for their unique cartoon-like and elongated mouths on their carvings.

Documented on page 221 in Sven Kirsten's The Book of Tiki (and 150/153 in Tiki Style).
