"For scenic value, this section of highway is the equal of anything offered along the 400 miles of Oregon's coastline"
Neahkahnie Mountain juts 1600 feet above the beach. Indians thought it a viewpoint fit for gods, and named it with the words Ne (“place of”) and Ekahni (“supreme deity”).
White men shroud the peak with legend as well. Treasure seekers sift the beach at the mountain’s base, spurred by tales of gold buried by sailors from a shipwrecked 17th century Spanish galleon, Santo Cristo de Burgos. The discovery here of strangely inscribed blocks of beeswax, possibly of Spanish origin, adds to the speculation.
