The Southeast Side of Mann's Harbor Bridge in Manteo, North Carolina, offers a unique beach experience. Located near the picturesque town of Manteo, this area is more suited for activities like fishing and kayaking rather than traditional beach swimming. The surrounding landscape is dotted with charming Victorian and Craftsman-style homes, and the nearby town provides a quaint, small-town feel with its historic waterfront and marina. Visitors can enjoy water-based activities or explore the local culture and history, including the Roanoke Island Festival Park and the Elizabeth II ship replica.
The area lacks traditional beach amenities like lifeguards and restrooms, making it less family-friendly compared to other Outer Banks destinations. However, it offers a serene and peaceful environment for those seeking a more secluded experience.
Manteo itself is a hub for seafood lovers, with many local restaurants serving fresh catches from the nearby waters.
