The Palapa Kings office and shop is located in a small industrial park near the Oceanside Municipal Airport and State Highway 76. The Palapa process is the Mexican art of making beach umbrellas out of blade grass and other dried reeds to shield users from the sun. Palapas are found in beach resorts up and down the Pacific coast.
The company uses the Palapa technique to cover large areas and create outdoor rooms. Some of Palapa Kings’ clients are Ruby Tuesdays, Paco’s and the Tropical Restaurant in Palm Springs. The company’s store stocks premade models.
