Currituck Sound (/ˈkʊrɪtʌk/) 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, this shallow, island-filled sound is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Currituck Banks Peninsula (formerly Bodie Island), part of the Outer Banks. On the northeast, it extends to Back Bay in northeast Virginia Beach, Virginia. A fork on the northwest leads to the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, which is a part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway that connects the sound to Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay. It ranges from 1 to 3 feet deep.

  • Currituck Sound​ es una ensenada protegida en el océano Atlántico en la parte noreste de Carolina del Norte. Tiene unas treinta millas en dirección N-S y alrededor de 3-8 millas de ancho.

  • Карритак (англ. Currituck Sound) — залив на северо-востоке Северной Каролины — лагуна восточного побережья США. Залив отделён от Атлантического океана полуостровом Боди Внешних отмелей. Это мелководный залив, заполненный небольшими островками. Длина с востока на запад — 30 миль, ширина — 3—8 миль. На северной оконечности залив продолжается как залив Бак в штате Виргиния, на северо-западе залив соединяется через Чесапикский канал с Чесапикским заливом и Хэмптон-Роудс. На юге соединён с заливом Албемарл. Залив входит в национальные парки Карритак и Маккай-Айленд. (ru)

  • Currituck Sound (/ˈkʊrɪtʌk/) 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, this shallow, island-filled sound is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Currituck Banks Peninsula (formerly Bodie Island), part of the Outer Banks. On the northeast, it extends to Back Bay in northeast Virginia Beach, Virginia. A fork on the northwest leads to the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, which is a part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway that connects the sound to Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay. It ranges from 1 to 3 feet deep. Although several inlets connected it directly to the Atlantic at one time or another, they have all since closed and there is now no direct access to the Ocean from the Sound. Thus contemporary salinity levels are very low, usually around 2-3‰ at the north end and 4-5‰ at the sound. Currently, the only access to the ocean is through the Albemarle Sound, which joins the Currituck to the South, meaning that the sound has no lunar or solar tides. Instead, wind is the major force that moves water. 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. An area of barrier beaches, it is also noted for its duck and goose hunting. (en)
