This small waterfront town sits where Pantego Creek meets the Pungo River, and it proudly calls itself the Birthplace of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Whether you cruise seasonally, live aboard part-time, or want a riverfront home base with a skiff at the dock, you’ll find practical access, friendly marinas, and a pace that fits the water.
