Bottom Line: A strip mall located at MP 14.5 with some good options for shopping and dining…read more When I think of a mall I think of an enclosed collection of shops but this mall is of the strip mall variety. The Nags Head Mall is not fancy but I do tend to find myself there nearly once a day during my summer vacations. Here are some of my common pit stops: Woo Casa - One of my favorite restaurants on the Outer Banks serving Mexican and Asian fusion. Grits Grill - A reliable stop for an early morning diner-style breakfast Duck Donuts - Always a sweet treat. The Cottage Shop - One of my favorite stores on the Outer Banks featuring high quality beachy decor Ulta - A chain store but I appreciate the convenience of being able to grab some extra pampering products while on vacation Food Lion and the Dollar Tree - Not exciting stops but reliable and practical There is plenty of parking in the mall and stores in addition to those listed above.

The Aquarium on Roanoke is such a fun experience for kids! We came for a visit with a large group…read moreand the kiddos had a blast. The aquarium is a good size with lots of exhibits and a giant saltwater tank with some big fish and sharks which was super cool. We will absolutely be back again!

We had an overall good experience at the aquarium! While it's not the biggest aquarium, there was…read morestill a good variety of animals to see. The staff was very friendly. Restrooms were clean. They offered sanitizing stations throughout to clean your hands. But, there was one exhibit room that smelled strange & the layout was confusing. I also found that the process of buying tickets on their website was confusing. The gift shop had a good variety. They also offer a private room for breastfeeding (nothing fancy, but it was private and nice that they offer that space). Our son loved watching all the fish swim and we will probably be visiting again! Worth the price.

Definitely your best option for groceries in Manteo. Produce and meats superior; ditto wine and…read moredeli options. Food Lion in Nags Head is obviously much larger; but for most of our needs this little local grocery store does okay.

Bottom Line: A good spot to grab some supplementary items for an Outer Banks vacation…read more We always make at least one visit to the Dollar Tree while vacationing in Nags Head for a few weeks. Bottled water and candy are staples for us but we also often get some items for the cottage that we either ran out of or forgot. It's nice that you can get small quantities of Tide, plastic wrap, paper plates etc. at the Dollar Tree. We also celebrate a birthday on our annual vacation so we come here for balloons and streamers too. And of course there are always various other odds and ends that we pick up so I find this store to be convenient. This store is looking a little rough around the edges as it seems their carpet has been removed but I also don't expect much from a dollar store and it still serves its purpose.

Worst experience ever, embarrassed by one of the employee,…read more so we were on vacation in OBX and we decided to go parasailing o. Labor Day before heading back home, so I called to schedule three for parasailing gave her the weight paid for it over the phone when we get there we were 14lb. Over weight, then the employee proceeded to say in front of this big group (well we can only have 2 of your party go parasailing because you lied about your weight) like do you really think I lied on purpose??? and also payed to get on, Like really, have more common sense, and learn how to talk to your customers. I will never come back to this establishment

Bottom Line: A small kite shop and launching point for kayak and SUP rentals and parasailing…read moreadventures. Kitty Hawk Kites along the Manteo waterfront earns four stars from me largely based on my experience with renting kayaks. My husband and I wanted a scenic and easy paddle and we thought Manteo would be a great place for that. Plus with a recent, rare manatee sighting in the area I wanted to see if manatees do really wear novelty tees. Anyway, we didn't see any manatees but we did have a nice kayak trip. We found 60 minutes was plenty to explore the area and take some photos. Ken was helpful with getting us launched and I liked the setup they have for climbing into kayaks. As far as shopping goes, Kitty Hawk Kites in Manteo is a very small storefront so if you're serious about shopping for a kite I'd recommend going to the Nags Head location first thing in the morning before it turns into a tourist zoo. The Manteo storefront is very small and cramped but does have some kites, spinners, windsock, toys and souvenirs.

When we parked and entered, you could tell this location has been here for a very long time. It is quite small, again letting you know how long this has been here. The items inside are what you expect from a grocery store. With it being a smaller store, the selection of items is varied depending on what you are looking for. Some items have the best options and some are limited. Prices are what you would expect for an area that depend on tourism dollars. It is a needed essential for the community and unless you go over to the Outer Banks area I believe this may be the only grocery store in this area.
