Welcome to the charming town of Manteo, located on the beautiful Roanoke Island in North Carolina. As a local, I am always proud to introduce visitors to the unique and enchanting sights that Manteo has to offer. One of my favorite activities to recommend is taking a leisurely walk along the waterfront harbor. You'll be greeted by stunning views of the Roanoke Sound, colorful boats bobbing in the water, and the iconic Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse.
Indulge in Fresh Seafood and Local Cuisine
As you continue your stroll, you'll pass by a variety of restaurants that serve up some of the freshest seafood you could ever taste. Be sure to stop by the Fisherman's Wharf for a scrumptious seafood platter or head over to Avenue Grille for a delicious waterfront dining experience. And if you're feeling adventurous, try our famous local delicacy, the Manteo Oyster, which is harvested right here in our waters.
Explore the Rich History and Culture
Manteo is not just a beautiful waterfront town, it is also steeped in rich history and culture. Take a break from your stroll and visit the Roanoke Island Maritime Museum, where you can learn about the island’s nautical history and see a replica of an 1890s Great Lakes schooner. You can also visit the North Carolina History Center and the Elizabethan Gardens to learn more about the area's past and present.
