Welcome to Kure Beach

Kure Beach is where the pace slows down and the coast takes center stage. Tucked along Pleasure Island, just south of Carolina Beach, this seaside community offers a more relaxed, intimate beach-town experience, where mornings begin with a walk along the beach, afternoons are spent on the water, and evenings are made for watching the sun set over the Cape Fear River. Kure Beach offers residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy the beach, nature, and the simple pleasures of coastal living while still being close to everything the Wilmington area has to offer. With its uncrowded beaches, colorful homes, and friendly small-town atmosphere, Kure Beach has a charm that is distinctly its own.

From the historic Kure Beach Pier, one of the oldest fishing piers on the Atlantic Coast, to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, with its miles of undeveloped shoreline, nature trails, fishing, and breathtaking views, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The nearby Fort Fisher Aquarium adds another favorite destination to explore. Residents can spend their days fishing, boating, biking, exploring nature trails, or simply enjoying the beach. Kure Beach captures the timeless appeal of coastal North Carolina.
