GO BEYOND THE BEACH THIS FALL

With mild temperatures and fewer crowds, take advantage of fall to experience Kure Beach’s outdoor adventures like a local. Embark on a guided kayak tour to Shark Tooth Island and search for the much-coveted shark teeth. Take time to unwind with a picnic in the park or stroll along nearly six miles of pristine shore at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. Find your fall flow with Kure Beach Yoga, offering classes on the pier or at Kure Beach Ocean Front Park. Experience the outdoors this autumn at a beach unlike any other.
 
Fort Fisher Historic Site

Stress-Free Getaway 

Quickly escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life with a variety of no-reservation required trip ideas. Explore the South’s largest earthen fort and historic battle site at Fort Fisher State Historic Site while hiking its trails or hit the disc golf course at Joe Eakes Park. Cast a line off the Kure Beach Fishing Pier where you can fish without a license for a small fee. Don’t worry about packing your gear either; the Bait Shop and Store sells tackle, bait and rod and reel combos. Savor Caribbean flavors at Jack Mackerel’s Island Grill or bring your special someone to Freddie’s Restaurant, voted “Most Romantic” year after year.
