Kure Beach is a little bit further down the beach, at the southern tip of Pleasure Island, a little bit more off the beaten track. Kure Beach is filled with everything you’re hoping to find: expansive beaches, scenic views (you can see the ocean and the river), relaxed people enjoying a relaxing atmosphere, and the kind of character that seems to have all but disappeared from coastal towns.
There’s always plenty to do around here – you can cast a line from the 700-foot long fishing pier, or explore nearby Fort Fisher, the last stronghold of the Confederacy. Kure Beach is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Fishing, water skiing, parasailing, surfing, swimming, windsurfing, scuba diving, boogie-boarding, kayaking, sailing and snorkeling, provide endless opportunities for recreation.Gaze in awe at the 200,000+ gallon saltwater tank at the handy aquarium, or hike along the 4-mile stretch of undeveloped beach in the state park. Shop for the latest beachwear and check out what’s in style at the surf shops. Even hop a ferry for a breathtaking view on a trip to the mainland.
But maybe the best thing about Kure Beach? There’s always plenty of nothing to do, as well! If you’re looking for quiet, breathtaking blue ocean and open beaches just a short drive from all the conveniences, Kure Beach, NC is for you. We welcome you to come and vacation in our corner of Paradise.
