'''Knotts Island''' is a marshy island and a small unincorporated community. The island is shared by Currituck County, North Carolina and Virginia Beach, Virginia, bounded by the Currituck Sound, North Landing River, Back Bay, and Knotts Island Bay. Knotts Island is home to Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge. Knotts Island is only accessible over land from Virginia Beach using Princess Anne Road. The North Carolina Department of Transportation operates a free ferry between Knotts Island and Currituck on the mainland.
This island is a hunting and fishing community. It has numerous duck hunting blinds located in the bay as well as on land, and is home to the Swan Island Hunting Club, a guided duck hunting club located across the bay on Swan Island. It is a favorite winter travel destination of artist/painter Bob Timberlake, among others.
Over the years, many residents of the former Outer Banks community of Wash Woods, Virginia moved across the sound to settle on Knotts Island. Eventually, Wash Woods became a ghost town, but descendants continue to live on Knotts Island to this day.
There are several businesses located on the island. Knotts Island Market is the only general store on the island. There is a restaurant and bar, Bay Villa, commonly referred to as "Pearl's", in reference to the former owner. Bay Villa is the center for most of the island's watercraft launching due to the boat ramp located adjacent to the main building. It is also the one and only local bar and restaurant.
There is also a winery on the Island. Martin Farm and Winery offers waterfront views with a wine tasting room and u-pick peaches, apples, and muscadine grapes. Farm fresh vegetables are also available throughout the summer.
The island also has a custom metal fabrication shop, OBX Metalworks, LLC, that produces artwork that is shipped worldwide and also handles industrial fabrication. Knotts Island hosts a Peach Festival every year in June. +

In 1965, the City of Virginia Beach announced plans to “reintroduce” salt water to Back Bay. In the attached segment, which ran on WTAR (now WTKR, TV 3), Sidney Kellam said “we have studied the means of introducing it in there, and reported today that we think a pump should be installed in the vicinity of the Little Island Coast Guard Station for this purpose.”
Kellam continued by saying that “The council appropriated some $35,000 to do this work,” and gave the authority to proceed with it. “There are some engineering problems as to how we may anchor the offshore line to get the water out of the ocean… but we hope to be pumping sometime in March.”
The pier turned out to be the “anchor” used. Little Island became a notorious “crabbing hole.” According to some first-hand accounts, crabbers would “merely stand at the open end of the pipe and net the crabs as they rush out with the flow of water from the ocean.”
The pumping continued until 1987, when the Little Island pumping project was curtailed. According to the late Marshall Belanga, “The city decided that their little $30,000 that they were spending to keep the pumping program going was too much for the budget. So, they kicked us off it. '''Within three years, the Bay was dead,'''” said Belanga.
Ironically, there are now talks of bringing the pumps back to Little Island. However, instead of pumping salt water out of the ocean into Back Bay, pumps would push water out of the Bay into the Atlantic. It is one of the plans currently in place in an attempt to help alleviate flooding which some say was exasperated when the pumping stopped and sea grasses died.
