A quiet little village over the river and a ferry ride away will transport you to small locally owned boutiques and restaurants, picturesque parks, and historic walking tours all in the downtown area of Howe Street. We personally love Thai Peppers, The Provision Company, Dry Street, and Fishy Fishy Cafe and the historic ghost walk tour.

YOu wont regret a sunrise stroll along Kure Beach.... I promise. Grab a coffee at Happy Hippies (card service only) or a simple cup from our beloved Pier store. Either way start your day with the sun creeping up above the horizon and walk the shore as the dolphins weave their way north or south each morning cresting through the gentle morning water. Finish it out with a delicious breakfast at the newly revamped Ocean View Restaurant locally owned and operated and filled with a few of the islands best.

A great surf instruction for a few days of catching some waves. Wether you’ve been surfing before or your just starting out you’ll feel the rush of riding a wave in on your feet and you’ll never feel the same. Something about letting the waters power push you to shore that just ties you all together with the sea. It’s an amazing feeling. So do it, get a lesson and do the thing you always wished You did. Ride the wave!

Karaoke, live music, great food, and trivia all offered up at the Dive year round. I’m not a burger eater but these rank number 1 to a lot of people here on the island. I go for the eclectic mix of people, stories, and conversations you can have just sitting at the bar or outside on the patio tables. Always a busy scene and friendly atmosphere.
