A stroll to the end of the Kure Beach Pier is an absolute must. It’s free, with stellar views of the ocean and surrounding shoreline. Try to go around sunrise or sunset for the best views. You’ll see plenty of pelicans, and if you enjoy fishing, be sure to bring your fishing equipment with you!

2. Fort State Fisher Recreation Center

The recreational site of this historic fort was the site of two major Civil War battles, and offers stunning views of the ocean. You can go kayaking, canoeing, or fishing here. It’s also a quiet, serene place to just watch the sunrise while listening to the waves splashing on the rocks.

Parking is free and during the warmer months, there’s a weekly farmer’s market.

4. Visit the Coquina Outcrop

This massive green, mossy outcrop in the middle of expansive white sand beaches is a natural phenomenon. The formation is only visible during low tide, so be sure to check the tide charts so that you can see the many species of marine life that live there.
