Manteo on Roenoke Island North Carolina Travel Guide

Things to do in Manteo North Carolina

Manteo North Carolina

Manteo, located on Roanoke Island was once called the Lost Colony is a perfect place to lose yourself and find some rest and relaxation. An island with only a mile and a half of land and a population of just over 1,500. Manteo is a quiet personable retreat from the stresses of life.

Manteo is located on Roanoke Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Not touristy, a quaint town with charm and bustle as the locals love to fish and make new friends. From antique stores, a great aquarium, seafood shacks, the maritime museum and the lighthouse is especially unique to this locale-you will find something here for everyone.

Downtown Manteo, located just a few blocks off the main road of US Highway 64, is a destination in its own right, and the small streets that lead to the harbor are filled with gorgeous gardens, manicured lawns, and charming bed and breakfasts. The Pioneer Theater, a fixture in the town for decades, is located along these side streets and claims the honor of being the oldest single-screen and family owned movie theater in America. Unmistakable by its Tudor-style exterior, the theater is open year-round and features a budget-friendly feature as well as a historic theater setting.

The waterfront portion of downtown is lined with locally and nationally renowned restaurants, water sports companies, gift shops, antique stores, book stores, galleries, and many more shops and attractions with doors wide open for patrons. Many restaurants have outdoor seating overlooking the harbor, presenting guests with maritime watching at its best, and everyone is encouraged to take a stroll along the waterfront, or simply pull up a bench or a gazebo seat and enjoy the views.

Stop just outside of Manteo along the Harbor and enjoy the Roanoke Marshes Light, known as the only "in-shore" lighthouse in the Outer Banks area. Summer visitors should also be on the lookout for seasonal events, including monthly "First Night" celebrations, and Saturday Farmer's Markets that invade the downtown with fresh locally grown produce, homemade goodies, and local arts and crafts.
