Roanoke Marshes Trading Co. is a great store with a pleasant experience. It is a clean, organized, and well-stocked shop with lots of selection for buying t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more at great prices. The staff is helpful and very nice. The business is located in a beautiful, pristine cottage-style lighthouse built over the water on Shallowbag Bay in historic downtown Manteo. This replica lighthouse has a very classic coastal appearance and offers a great view. It is a hidden gem adjacent to a wonderful park. Visitors can walk up to and around the structure, which contains a small museum with informative presentations. An information board details local history. It is worth the visit for its unique and pretty setting.
Stopped in to get a pair of sunglasses due to forgetting mine at home. Found a polarized pair for under $20 and picked up a new hat. I had no issues with any of the staff and enjoyed my experience.

Fantastic shop! We’re from Nebraska and this store is convincing me to relocate!
