Opened some time in the 1950s (circa 1956 or so) by Robert Pantley.
Was owned & operated by Pantley's Motel Apartments, right on the ocean.
The Pagan Hut lasted into the early-mid 1960s. It then became known as known as the Surfpoint Inn. The Surfpoint seemed to run in to some trouble. In December, 1968, the tide came so far inland that it smashed the property windows and flooded the dining room. In October, 1977, the property was seriously damaged by a series of storms that hit the Oregon Coast.
Later, the motel became the King Surf Resort, and this restaurant became the Pikake Hut.
At some point in its history, the bar was known as the Pupule Lanai.
There was also a Pantley's Pagan Hut on SW 10th and Stark in Portland, OR (1960-1962) and a Pantley's Pagan Room in Bellevue, WA, which must have been related somehow.
The structures for Pantley's Motel Apartments and the Pagan Hut are gone, and timeshares are now on the spot.
