The Outrigger at Laguna Beach's Surf & Sand Hotel was a cornerstone of Southern California's tiki culture during the 1960s and 70s, when Polynesian-themed establishments were transforming the American hospitality scene. Nestled along the pristine coastline of Laguna Beach, this tropical oasis offered guests an exotic escape complete with bamboo décor, rum cocktails, and the soothing sounds of the Pacific just steps away. The establishment became synonymous with the laid-back beach culture that defined Orange County during the golden age of tiki bars, when every major hotel seemed to have its own slice of synthetic Polynesia. As part of the broader tiki movement that swept across California in the post-war boom, the Outrigger represented the era's fascination with island culture and the promise of perpetual vacation. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
