    Besides having a wide clean sandy beach,
here are a few other favorites places of ours for adventure!
All distances are estimated!

Kure Beach Fishing Pier (3 blocks south) "Man you should of been here last week!!" Is the motto of the Oldest Fishing Pier on the East coast. Fishing pier, not ship pier, 1923. Fishing is above average.  Spots, one Trout,  several Flounders,  Bluefishes, King Mackerels, few Spanish Mackerels and one Tarpon were all caught "LAST WEEK"! No joking!

North Carolina Department of Transportation Fort Fisher / Southport Ferry (3 miles south)    This is a wonderful ride to Southport and vice-versa. Along with dozens of bird species, one can see "The Rock Wall". Built in the early 1880's, this structure keeps New Inlet from washing into the Cape Fear river. "New Inlet",  was opened before the wall. This is where Confederate and its allied ships passed through as union ships fought hard to keep this strategic waterway closed. The "Confederate State Ship" Raleigh lies just a few hundred feet to the east of the Ferry's route under 30 feet of water. The ships that ran New Inlet while being targeted and fired upon by union ships where were know as "Blockade Runners"

Jungle Rapids and Family Fun Park  (15 miles northeast)  Spend a day floating on New Hanover Counties' coolest and laziest river.
