After spending a long weekend in the picturesque villages along the Outer Banks, I can't believe it took me this long to visit! Yes, it is a 10-hour drive from the north side of metro Atlanta, but it is truly worth every minute it takes to get there! We only went for 4 nights but we should have stayed at least a full week - there was so much more to see!
On our first day, we went to Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, which is located on Roanoke Island, in Manteo. It was about a 15-minute drive from Kill Devil Hills.
Fort Raleigh is where the Lost Colony was last seen. If you don't know this story, it is fascinating. And over 400 years later, it is still America's longest unsolved mystery.
Schedule your visit to the site so that you can take part in the Ranger talk. The Ranger has great information about the history of the Fort and shares some of the possible theories of what happened to the Lost Colony. You can walk out back and see the ruins of the original earthen walls of the fort. The Visitor's Center has a wonderful exhibit about the history of the area, as well. We spent about 2 hours there and enjoyed it so much!
Down by the water, if you're there during the season, you can watch a live performance of The Lost Colony. This Friday, May 31, they open for their 82nd season! I hope to go back in the next year or two and see this! Here's the FB page for the play.
While you're on Manteo, visit the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. It's really close to Fort Raleigh. The prices are affordable, and it's a great aquarium! We really enjoyed the Turtle rescue/hospital area, and the sting ray touch tank! The jellyfish and sea horses are always my favorites at every aquarium, and this one didn't disappoint! There are plenty of interactive displays for both little and big kids.
Outside there is a long pier to walk on, a dinosaur fossil dig, and other cool things to see! A great place to visit for a few hours, for sure!!
I hope you enjoyed these fun things to do! Click the links for pages or websites to get all the information!
