The North Carolina Coast Places

Kure Beach and Carolina Beach

Getting Here and Around

Drive to Kure Beach on U.S. 421 or take the ferry from Route 211 in Southport. Once at the beach, you'll want a car to get up and down the island, although some people walk and bike along the narrow, main highway.
