Right in the heart of Manteo, along the boardwalk, is the North Carolina Maritime Museum, which is a wonderful place to visit and learn about the maritime history and culture of Roanoke Island and offers a variety of educational programs and interpretive exhibits through out the year.
During the summer months sailing, traditional boat handling, and boating safety courses are offered as part of the museum’s Outer Banks Community Sailing Program.
