Can you travel by car to Roanoke Island, North Carolina?

My husband and I are planning a trip to North Carolina, and we’re wondering if we’ll be able to visit Roanoke Island by car. We’d rather not take a ferry, since we are both prone to getting seasick. Can you travel by car to Roanoke Island, NC?

North Carolina
is a beautiful state.
And you’re in luck! You can travel by car to Roanoke Island, North Carolina. In fact, the only way to get to the island is by driving over a bridge. There are two bridges to choose from:
  • Manns Harbor Bridge
  • Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge
The Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge crosses through Roanoke Island and connects to Nags Head, so you would be able to take it whether you’re coming from the mainland or the outer banks (which I can’t recommend enough).
Once you make your way to Roanoke Island, there is plenty to see and do. The
main attraction
is, of course, The Lost Colony—an 84-year-old musical that depicts the English settlers that traveled to Roanoke Island. You can get tickets at TheLostColony.org.
