Downtown Books
A beloved independent bookstore in downtown Manteo voted Best Bookstore on the Beach four years running. Downtown Books carries a carefully chosen selection of bestsellers, non-fiction, young adult, children's, cookbooks, and the most comprehensive collection of OBX-related books you'll find anywhere — history, culture, nature, and fiction set on the Outer Banks. The greeting card selection alone is worth the stop. A genuine Roanoke Island treasure that makes Manteo feel like a real community.
