Welcome to Beachwalk at Kure Beach!

A Snapshot of Life in Kure Beach
Kure Beach (pronounced CURE-ee) is a coastal town steeped in history and community. Our year-round population of just over 2,000 swells significantly during the tourist season, as visitors come to enjoy our pristine beaches and welcoming atmosphere. The town’s incorporated limits begin at Alabama Avenue on the north side, stretching south to the entrance of the historic Fort Fisher State Historic Site.
Residents of Kure Beach represent a diverse blend of retirees, young families, and property owners from across 32 states. Many have made Kure Beach their permanent home for generations, with members of the founding Kure family still residing here.
Home Sweet Home
Over the years, Kure Beach has evolved, with residents building charming beach cottages that continue to line the streets today. In more recent years, larger, brightly colored homes have joined the landscape, adding a fresh, tropical feel to the area.
