About the area
Manteo, a picturesque town on Roanoke Island in North Carolina's Outer Banks, is a charming destination steeped in history and natural beauty. This coastal gem offers a serene escape with its waterfront boardwalks, historic homes, and a small-town atmosphere that invites leisurely exploration.
One of the town's most significant attractions is the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, which commemorates the first English settlement in the New World. Visitors can delve into the mystery of the Lost Colony, a group of settlers who disappeared without a trace in the late 16th century. The site also hosts the outdoor drama "The Lost Colony," performed in the Waterside Theatre during the summer, providing an engaging way to experience the area's history.
The Elizabethan Gardens, adjacent to the historic site, are a living tribute to the time of Queen Elizabeth I and the settlers. These beautifully manicured gardens offer a tranquil setting for a stroll among vibrant blooms, ancient oaks, and classical statuary.
For those interested in marine life and conservation, the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island is a must-visit. The aquarium features a variety of exhibits, including a large collection of sharks, sea turtles, and freshwater species native to the region. Interactive touch tanks and educational programs make it an enriching experience for all ages.
Manteo's historic downtown is a delightful area to wander, with its unique shops, galleries, and restaurants housed in buildings that evoke the town's heritage. The Roanoke Island Festival Park adds another layer to Manteo's allure, with a representation of a 16th-century sailing ship, the Elizabeth II, and a coastal Algonquian village, providing a hands-on historical experience.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the town's proximity to nature. Kayaking, sailing, and fishing are popular activities in the surrounding waters, while the nearby Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge offers opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.
Manteo also serves as a gateway to the wider Outer Banks, with its stunning beaches, historic lighthouses, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial in nearby Kill Devil Hills, commemorating the site of the world's first powered flight.
In essence, Manteo is a destination that offers a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it an ideal spot for travelers seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of adventure. Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or simply looking to unwind, Manteo's welcoming charm is sure to provide a memorable visit.
