Description: The Drift Inn Cafe had its heyday in the late 1950s and early 1960s, often featuring live jazz music. It was situated at 22878 Pacific Coast Highway, on the beach just east of the Malibu Pier. During the 1960s, the owner renovated the Drift Inn as the Tiki-themed Tonga Lei Restaurant. The building was eventually razed in 1987 to make way for the Malibu Beach Inn.
