About Kure Beach

A relaxed, family-focused coastal town, Kure Beach encompasses the Kure Beach Pier, historic Fort Fisher, and the massive rock seawall known as "The Rocks." Visitors enjoy fishing off the oldest Atlantic coast fishing pier (established 1923), visiting the nearby NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher, taking quiet family beach walks, and surfing. Anglers casting near the historic Fort Fisher rocks heavily rely on the tides; an incoming tide pushes massive schools of baitfish against the rock wall structure, creating the absolute best conditions for catching red drum and flounder.
