Halloween Festivities:

With Halloween just around the corner, Manteo is celebrating with the "13 Nights of Halloween Island" event, running from October 19th through October 31st in the Downtown Manteo Social District. Enjoy 13 nights of spooky fun around the Walking Waterfront, featuring Halloween treats and drinks at local businesses. As trick-or-treaters will be out and about, please drive cautiously and stay alert to ensure a safe and enjoyable evening for all.

Why Choose the Outer Banks?

The Outer Banks (OBX) offers a unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and a relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from other coastal destinations. Compared to Hilton Head, OBX provides a more laid-back experience with less commercial development. Unlike the bustling nightlife of Myrtle Beach, OBX focuses on serene beaches and family-friendly activities. While Virginia Beach offers a city vibe, OBX charms visitors with its small-town feel and untouched landscapes. Compared to the Jersey Shore, OBX boasts cleaner beaches and a more tranquil environment.

Enjoy your day exploring the Outer Banks!
