Dare County Regional Airport sits in Manteo, North Carolina. Field elevation is 12.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,306 ft on runway 05/23. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Approach and departure service is through Cherry Point.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement before you go. The airport sits low and close to the coast. Expect waterfowl activity from October through February. Banner towing also occurs 200 feet west of runway 05. Taxiway F is closed permanently.
The on-field FBO is Dare County Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. After-hours self-serve 100LL is available with a credit card. The published remarks also call out displaced-threshold obstacle notes on all three runway ends. That matters here. Runway 05 has a road close in on the approach side. Runway 35 has trees on the approach path. Runway 17 also has a steep approach-slope note at the displaced threshold. If you are planning a first stop here, review the current Chart Supplement and brief the runway environment carefully before arrival.
