Description
The Tonga Lei Polynesian Restaurant was owned by Danny Vaughn. In 1961, Vaughn (with co-owner Ted Wynkoop) converted his Drift Inn near the Malibu Pier to the Polynesian-themed Tonga Lei, which remained a popular eatery until it closed in 1987. In the following year, the owners built the Malibu Beach Inn at that location. On reverse: Polynesian Restaurant & Motel
