Roanoke
Island on the NC Outer Banks is actually an island itself, lying behind
the Outer Banks and the mainland. Roanoke Island is one of the Outer Banks'
primary visitor destinations. Visitors often make Roanoke Island and Manteo
their home base for vacation and daytrip out to the other Outer Banks
areas of interest, which is a good strategy. Roanoke Island is home to
four of the Outer Banks’ most popular attractions, The Lost Colony, Elizabethan
Gardens, Elizabeth II Historic Site, NC Aquarium, and the Roanoke Island
Festival Park. Golfing, the beaches, and shopping, and a mired of activities
will keep you occupied through your vacation. Do not plan on seeing or
doing everything that Roanoke Island has to offer in one short vacation.
Chances are you will be coming back to the Roanoke Island Outer Banks
for vacation for some time.
