Roanoke Island Outer Banks Vacations

Roanoke Island is bursting with activities, attractions, history, the performing and visual arts, shops, recreation, accommodations and more.

Outstanding, world-class attractions are what lure many people to Roanoke Island. While many of the attractions focus on the island’s history as the site of the first attempted English colonization of America, there are other attractions too, like the North Carolina Aquarium and the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse, that you won’t want to miss. From the 1,500 live oaks and crape myrtles planted along the billboard-free corridor on island's northern end to the veteran seafaring vessels at rest in Wanchese harbor on the southern end, Roanoke Island is unique, a place like no other. No matter what activities you choose during your stay on Roanoke Island, one thing is certain, you’ll feel relaxed!
