Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse, Manteo

This is a very unique little lighthouse found on Roanoke Island. This was our first time staying on the island and it is packed with very interesting history. We walked to the lighthouse since the island is easy to get atound. The boardwalk surrounding the structure is very nice to walk on, the area is very scenic, calm and relaxing. There is no cost to visit the lighthouse. There was a tour going on at the time we stopped by so we listened in on that. Grab a meal, get out there and check it out.

Another place to visit on the island was the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse. This actually was very interesting place historically and I found it to be very intriguing. I guess I've never really looked into or cared to study the history of the Roanoke colony and it's disappearance. It's also very interesting that this is the location of the first English colonist born in america. I had no idea that this was the location. We had a good time visiting the lighthouse and the boat repair shop and the Little village shops that they have around here. We also got some really good ice cream at one of the stores. This is a great place to visit and put on your list of things to do while you're visiting the area.
