Currituck Sound
Coastal landforms
Distinct features
Quite shallow
Considered an estuary, the average depth of the Outer Banks sound system is just three feet, with an occasional deeper recess. Sandwiched between landforms and sheltered from the open ocean and its turbulence, the water surface is relatively calm.
“The Currituck Sound is a nature lover’s playground, offering ample access to wide open spaces of shallow, easy to navigate open water, dense thickets of maritime forest, and small, marshy islands that are covered in wildlife.” – Travis
