Pamlico Sound

Pamlico Sound, inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, eastern North Carolina. The sound, which is 130 km (80 mi) long and between 15 and 40 km (10 and 25 mi) wide, is separated from the ocean by long, narrow islands of sand, with narrow passages. The Pamlico and Neuse rivers empty into the sound, which is connected with Albemarle Sound in the north through Croatan Sound.
