Carolina & Kure Beach

After only two nights in Surf City, we were once again off down the Carolina coast to Carolina Beach, NC.  This area had much more build-up than Surf City.  The beaches were much shorter than we were use to and reminded me of visits to the Jersey coast.  The sand was also much coarser than the fine sand of Ocracoke.  


We spent most of our time on Kure Beach near the fishing pier.  It was perfect conditions for the kids to surf and they had a wonderful time.  We did hear tale of a gator in the ocean earlier in the day, but we didn't have any encounters. We were always under the impression that alligators stayed out of salt water, but we learned that isn't always the case.  It was a fun day, but not our favorite beach on the trip.  Regardless, it's still fun seeing new places.  Next up Myrtle Beach!
