<P> Albemarle Sound ( / ˈælbəˌmɑːrl / ) is a large estuary on the coast of North Carolina in the United States located at the confluence of a group of rivers , including the Chowan and Roanoke . It is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Currituck Banks , a barrier peninsula upon which the town of Kitty Hawk is located , at the eastern edge of the sound , and part of the greater Outer Banks region . Roanoke Island is situated at the southeastern corner of the sound , where it connects to Pamlico Sound . Much of the water in the Albemarle Sound is brackish or fresh , as opposed to the saltwater of the ocean , as a result of river water pouring into the sound . </P>
