Review:
Roanoke lives in infamy as the first attempted settlement in America by the English, a colony that was mysteriously lost.
Today, Roanoke Island is a thriving place that draws people to its museums and historic site, as well as its current status as a fun town with plenty of attractions for tourists and locals alike.
On Roanoke Island , visitors will find art galleries, a maritime museum, Elizabethan Gardens, Island Farm, and the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse.
Throughout the year, the town hosts events like the Shallowbag Shag Beach Music Festival, a bluegrass festival, and much more.
