Downtown Manteo is located just a few blocks off the main road but might seem like a world apart. The small streets that lead to the harbor are filled with gorgeous gardens, specialty shops, charming public spaces, locally and nationally renowned restaurants, water sports companies, gift shops, antique stores, bookstores, galleries, and more. The Pioneer Theater, a fixture in the town for decades, is located along these side streets and claims the honor of being the oldest single-screen and family-owned movie theater in America.
