The enigmatic figure known as Donn Beach was born as Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt in 1907 in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a young man, he developed a passion for travel, adventure, and the exotic. In the 1920s, Gantt embarked on a globetrotting journey, visiting various tropical destinations and immersing himself in their cultures. It was during this period that he adopted the moniker “Donn Beach” as a nod to his beachcombing lifestyle and his love for the sea. In 1934, Donn Beach opened his first bar and restaurant in Hollywood, California, and named it “Don the Beachcomber. ”Don the Beachcomber was renowned for its elaborate and immersive decor. The interior of the bar was transformed into a tropical oasis, complete with bamboo furniture, tiki torches, thatched roofs, and Polynesian-inspired artwork. This aesthetic transported patrons to a faraway paradise and became a defining feature of Tiki culture. The success of the Hollywood location led to the opening of additional Don the Beachcomber branches in major cities across the United States, including Chicago, New York, and Palm Springs. 23 Restaurants is working tirelessly to bring the iconic restaurant back to the tiki world in a way that honors the past, feels relevant to current tiki enthusiasts, and ensures the continuation of Donn Beach’s legacy for years to come. The all NEW Don the Beachcomber opened in Fall 2023 in The Cambria Hotel Madeira Beach.
