Kure (Cur-ee) Beach is Carolina Beach’s beautiful, relaxed and friendly neighbor to the South. The town was established in 1870 with Hans Anderson’s arrival from Denmark and we have 2,000 year-round residents. Many of our guests come back year after year to be welcomed with the old fashioned hospitality of Kure Beach.

 We are mostly residential, dotted with many fine oceanfront and ocean view motels, condos and cottages to suit all tastes and budgets, including many lavish beach homes - all available for rental.

 Of course, our beach is wide, open and unspoiled, with all the elbowroom you could want for sunbathing, strolling, shelling, surfing or fishing. Our town is an angler’s Mecca, with annual fishing tournaments, one of the best fishing piers (over 711 feet long) on the East Coast, bountiful surf fishing and boat launches nearby. At our small town center, you’ll find the pier, several excellent restaurants, a convenience store and amusements for the kids. You can walk to “town” or bike on a bike path from most of the accommodations in Kure Beach.

If you’re looking for quiet, breath taking blue ocean and open beaches just a short drive from all the conveniences, Kure Beach is for you. We welcome you to come and vacation in our corner of Paradise.
