Attraction
Downtown Manteo
A genuinely beautiful small coastal town on Roanoke Island with a protected waterfront, replica lighthouse, festival park, working rum distillery, great restaurants, sailboat tours, kayak rentals, and streets full of Victorian charm. Named for Chief Manteo of the Croatoan tribe and steeped in Lost Colony history. The kind of town that convinces visitors to move here — and has been doing so for over a century. No beach, but you already have that covered.
