Located at S end of Ocracoke Is. Provides access to Pamlico Sound. Once inside the inlet itself, the passage of a shifting inshore channel named Teaches Hole is required to access the harbor or navigable portions of Pamlico Sound.

Jacksonville is up the New River. See Corps of Engineers survey  \n1 The government website referenced has other more detailed survey charts of this inlet.  \nNew Topsail Inlet Near ICW Mile 270. As of July 7 , ’20 , the inlet was routinely passable by medium and small vessels at higher states of the tide. However, buoys were removed in 2017 due to shoaling, so the channel is currently unmarked. See Corps of Engineers survey  \nLittle Topsail Inlet Located ½ N. M. SW of New Topsail Inlet. Not normally passable and does not currently connect to navigable channels inshore.  \nRich Inlet Located between Topsail and Figure 8 Islands near ICW Mile 275.  \nMason Inlet Located between Figure 8 Island and Wrightsville Beach island near ICW Mile 280. Dredged in 2019 but not buoyed as of July 31, ’20.  \nMasonboro Inlet Located between Wrightsville Beach barrier island and Masonboro Island. Access ICW near Mile 285. Federally maintained.* See Corps of Engineers survey. Dredged, buoyed & lighted as of July 7 , ’20.  \nCarolina Beach Inlet Near Mile 295 and Snows Cut on the ICW. Buoyed, lighted , and routinely passable as of July 29, ’20. See Corps of Engineers survey.  \nNew Inlet Former ocean inlet near S end of Cape Fear, now closed over. Located about 2½ NMS of Federal Point, approx... 33°55’N, 77°56 .5’W.  \nCape Fear Slue Nearshore channel running roughly East-West across Frying Pan Shoals, located approx.. 1,300 yards from the southeast tip of Bald Head Island (i.e. southern end of Cape Fear) . Seaward entrance is approx.. 33°52’N, 77°57’W.  \n(Continued)  \nFour Mile Slue Channel running roughly EastWest across Frying Pan Shoals, located approx. 5 NM from the southeast tip of Bald Head Island (i.e. southern end of Cape Fear) .  \nFrying Pan Shoals Slue Channel running roughly Northeast-Southwest across Frying Pan Shoals, located 11½ NM from the southeast tip of Bald Head Island (i.e. southern end of Cape Fear) . Shown as buoyed and lighted in NOAA chart 11520 as of 2014.  \nBald Head-Shoal Ship Channel (Cape Fear Inlet) Commercial channel from the Atlantic Ocean into Cape Fear River. Runs roughly N-S parallel to and west of Frying Pan Shoals. Federally maintained.* Buoyed and lighted, with range lights at inshore (north) end.
