Kure Beach Homes for Sale
A quiet, small-town beach with one of the Atlantic coast's oldest fishing piers.
Living in Kure Beach
Quiet beach living on Pleasure Island.
Just south of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach keeps a slower, small-town pace: a historic fishing pier, an oceanfront park, and miles of protected shoreline at Fort Fisher.
Homes range from oceanfront condos and cottages to newer single-family neighborhoods. The Southport–Fort Fisher Ferry connects the island to Brunswick County across the Cape Fear River.

Buyer Guidance
Know before you buy at the beach.
01
Flood & wind insurance
Coastal homes often need separate flood coverage and wind coverage through the NC Insurance Underwriting Association. Get quotes before you write an offer.
02
Rental rules
Short-term rental rules vary by town and HOA. Confirm them if rental income matters to you.
03
Coastal upkeep
Salt air is hard on decks, HVAC systems, and windows. Use an inspector who knows coastal construction.
