Pungo is known for its Pungo Strawberry Festival, which is held there every spring, and the Military Aviation Museum, which has a large collection of vintage warbirds. Also well known is the story of Grace Sherwood, the so-called "Witch of Pungo". Notable features of the area include the historic downtown intersection, United States Coast Guard communications master station, Verizon Communications transmitter site adjacent to the Coast Guard site, cut-your-own Christmas tree farms, pick-your-own fruit farms, roadside fruit and vegetable stands, Pungo Pizza & Ice Cream, a locally owned restaurant with a large game room that has become quite popular, and the Pungo Ferry Bridge. Nearby is Nimmo United Methodist Church (pronounced "Nim-o"), which was built in 1791 and expanded in the early 1990s; it is the oldest church with the original foundation in the area. Bishop Francis Asbury preached there.
