Pungo Ferry Bridge crosses the Waterway at mile 28 and has a vertical clearance of 65ft. The anchorage is charted at 9-12ft.

Subject: shoaling
Cruising News: There is shoaling at the anchorage at the Pungo Ferry Bridge spot just north of the bridge across from the old closed marina. This would be the anchorage to the right of the bridge as you are facing south.

There is limited tie up at closed marina at Pungo Ferry. There was no hassle for overnight tie up. 40 foot ketch said all anchorages listed in area are shoaled over, so this closed marina is only place to stop. Actually there is channel around back of marina and more space if your boat is shallow.
Fishing boats used Channel to ramp behind closed marina. Channel was about 20 wide. It could handle 10 foot beam easily, maybe 12 foot. At least 4′ deep, probably more.
I suspect that a trawler type boat could comfortably tie up in back. It would provide protected anchorage.
