The Trade Winds opened its bamboo doors in Oxnard in the early 1960s, becoming one of Southern California's most authentic tiki destinations during the height of Polynesian pop culture. This Ventura County gem transported diners from the agricultural coastline straight to an imagined tropical paradise, complete with towering A-frame architecture that became its signature silhouette against the Pacific sky. For over two decades, locals and visitors alike gathered beneath carved tikis and swaying palms, sipping mai tais while the ocean breeze carried the sounds of exotica music through the night. The Trade Winds wasn't just following the tiki trend; it was helping define what California's tiki culture would become, one perfectly crafted cocktail at a time. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
