Tiki Island is a village in Galveston County, Texas, with a population of roughly 970 people. It is largely man made and was built in the 1960s, when developers dug canals and used the fill to elevate the land to between 4 and 10 feet about sea level. Street names on Tiki Island all follow a Polynesian theme, such as: Wahini Street, Lotus Drive, Coral Way and Coconut Street.
