Just to the
south of Carolina Beach on Pleasure Island is Kure
Beach, this area is well known as the newer more upscale
area of Pleasure Island. The Kure Beach area is bustling
with rapid development, small beach cottages are
intermingled with magnificent newly built luxury homes
and condominiums. Kure Beach is considered by many to be
the next Wrightsville Beach of the
Wilmington vicinity.
Many of the larger coastal homes are painted various
bright colors giving the area lots of personality and a
lively tropical feel. One of the main attractions in Kure Beach is the Kure Beach Fishing Pier. Here visitors
will find a variety of small shops and restaurants
catering to swarming summertime visitors.
The commute from Kure Beach to Wilmington is just over 25 minutes and is much like Carolina Beach. Traffic varies with time of day and season. Kure Beach must be accessed by US-421 or by boat.
Ocean View Estates, Seawatch, Ocean Dunes Forest,
Kure Dunes, Tuckers Square, Hanby Beach, Beachwalk, and
Fort Fisher are all areas of Kure Beach with wonderful
homes.
