| Description: | The southern and main entrance to Pocomoke Sound, between the southern end of Watts Island and Pocomoke Sound Light 6 (37°47'49''N., 75°50'19''W.), is 40 miles northward of Cape Charles. Extensive flats occupy most of the sound. A channel, wide and deep at the entrance but comparatively shallow in its most northerly part, leads to Pocomoke River, the most important
tributary.
Tangier Sound, its main entrance 1 mile northeastward of Tangier Sound Light, affords a broad and deep channel extending the 28-mile length of the sound. Extensive flats border the sound, but the critical points are marked by lights and buoys.
