Explore Manteo: A Hidden Gem in the Outer Banks

Sometimes the smaller things take up the most room in your heart.

When visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina, don’t miss visiting the charming town of Manteo.  (Pronounced MAN-TEA-O) You will want to explore the endless Christmas Shop, walk the enchanting downtown, have lunch in any of the lovely cafes or sandwich shops, and visit the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse.  

I had been to Manteo many times for various reasons but I had never really explored.  The first time I took my husband, we visited during the week between Christmas and New Year and we found the town and the lighthouse dressed for the holiday and fell in love!   Since then, we make it a point to spend some time in Manteo each time we visit the Outer Banks.  

Have you ever visited Manteo?
