With a picturesque location nestled between the peaceful shores of the Zeke’s Island Reserve and Fort Fisher and the lively beach town of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, North Carolina, is a fabulous place to vacation and an even better place to live. The community is famous for its proximity to a multitude of shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation destinations, as well as its quiet, laid-back atmosphere, and gorgeous sunny beaches. When it comes to Cape Fear destinations, Kure Beach offers the best of coastal vacations and lifestyles.
The community was named after a Danish-born man, Hans Kure, who moved to the Cape Fear coastline from Charleston in 1895. Kure purchased nine hundred acres and the area grew in popularity and population. In 1923 his son built the Atlantic coast’s first fishing pier, and in 1942 the community established its first post office. The town was incorporated as Kure Beach in honor of Han Kure in 1947 and continues to be a popular vacation destination. While the town is less than one square mile in size, it is surrounded by exciting services, amenities, and attractions. The Cape Fear River is its western border, the Atlantic Ocean is its eastern border, directly to the south is the tip of Pleasure Island, known as Federal Point, and the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and Historic Site, and its northern border is the town of Carolina Beach. This means opportunities for boating, kayaking, swimming, surfing, and enjoying the seemingly endless sun and sand are abundant for those owning Kure Beach real estate.
