Fort Nunez Gaona

Small marker for Spain's short-lived 1792 settlement at Neah Bay.

Fort Nunez Gaona is a modest marker, but it points to a large story: Spain briefly established a settlement at Neah Bay in 1792, then abandoned it after only a few months. The site is easy to miss if you are focused only on Cape Flattery.

Treat it as a quick historical stop in town, best paired with the Makah Museum rather than sought out on its own.
