Currituck Sound

Currituck Sound (/ˈkʊrɪtʌk/)[1] is a lagoon located in northeastern part of North Carolina and extreme southeastern Virginia.

36 miles (58 km) long north-south and 8 miles (13 km) at its widest,[2] this shallow, island-filled sound is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Currituck Banks Peninsula (formerly Bodie Island), part of the Outer Banks.

[2][3] Currituck County's Mackay Island and Currituck National Wildlife Refuge as well as Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park in Virginia Beach border the sound and are winter habitats on the Atlantic Flyway.

Many watersports activities occur in the sound, including parasailing, sea kayaking, and jet skiing.
