Life’s a little less hectic at Kure Beach. Located just 18 miles from the City of Wilmington, you’ll find the kind of small-town beach you visited during your childhood. Home to the oldest fishing pier on the Atlantic Coast, an oceanfront park, a nearby state aquarium and historic fort with beautiful seaside surroundings, Kure Beach provides the perfect setting for you and your family to explore and reconnect in this pure and natural playground.
Enjoy the views from the seaside swings and playground at the Ocean Front Park. Reel in the catch of the day from the Kure Beach Fishing Pier, one of the oldest piers on the Atlantic Coast. Peek into the past under the windswept live oak trees as you tour the grounds of the largest land-sea battle of the Civil War at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site. Family-friendly events are held year-round at Kure Beach!
