Hi all, I am planning a trip to Kure Beach in June 2008 . We usually go to the outer banks but wanted to try something different, am I making the right choice? also my wife hates those palmetto bugs, are there any in that area?
any help would be appreciated. thanks, OHIO DAD
I like Kure Beach and as long as the house is pretty new, (more air-tight) you will probably not see Palmetto bugs. We have a sign on the brigde that they are not allowed on the island, but I find most of them lacking in their reading skills.
I am a realtor in the area, just let me know if I can be of help to you.

Looking to relocate from NJ. Love Ocean, fishing, etc. Considering the Wilmington area of North Carolina.
Looking for medical-field opportunities, security industry jobs, plus, golf courses that cater to caddies and all within a 10 mi. radius of Wilmington.
Please advise. Planning a trip down in April '08. Thanks....

IMHO, not a good choice. The beach on Pleasure Island is not one of the prettier ones esp compard to the OBX and the beach is not nearly as wide. You might like Wrightsville Beach better, but expect more crowds in both those areas.
Good for you OhioDad, it is always fun to mix it up and try new locations. Kure Beach is a very cool beach with a strong focus on family. The center of town has a few restaurants and shops and they have a wonderful pier for fishing or just taking in the ocean sounds and sights.
If you have four wheel drive, there are two areas on Pleasure Island that you can drive on the beach and find your own swimming spots all to yourself. Also, the NC Aquarium is very nice and Fort Fisher should not be missed. From Fort Fisher, you can take the auto ferry over to Southport and spend a few hours enjoying a step back in time wandering through this quaint, beautiful town. From there you can take the highway back to Wilmington (along the way it is worth a stop at Orton Plantation where you may spot an Alligator or two). Good luck with your search and here are some links that might be of help:
We have been there 3 times now and even grabbed some extra family members and spent last Thanksgiving down there. It is very quiet, not a lot to do which is fine with us the kids just love the beach. We always ate at Jack Mackerels in town and it has an awesome arcade which we took the kids to as bonus for eating all of their dinner! Never been to the outerbanks but I did hear they are nice to with probably more to do. We bought kites for our kids and they drag around in our backyard but right at the ocean they fly awesome. I know there are a lot of rentals we stayed at Ocean Dunes they have an indoor pool in case you have a bad weather day. Have fun!!
