KURE BEACH, NC, August 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Visitors to Kure Beach (http://www.visitkure.com) often search for relaxing activities that make life move at a relaxed, steady pace. They are in luck - North Carolina's small wonder delights vacationers and families looking for a coastal getaway with its uncrowded beach, unpretentious small-town atmosphere, charm and serenity.

Here are five unique ways that beachgoers may choose to unplug and unwind during the final weeks of summer while visiting Kure Beach.

Kure's Beautiful Birds
Bird watching enthusiasts and casual observers find much to appreciate about Kure Beach and its wonderful natural surroundings. Visitors might take a leisurely stroll through three sites along the North Carolina Birding Trail, which links great bird watching sites with communities, businesses and other local historical and educational attractions. Kure Beach's three N.C. Birding Trail sites include the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. Popular birds indigenous to the area include gulls, pelicans and warblers (http://bit.ly/q6jZY0).

Delicious, Classic Dining
Kure Beach's fresh, local seafood and other treats keep visitors and families coming back year after year. Many people choose to kick back after a long day in the sun with a meal at Big Daddy's, Jack Mackerel's Island Grill or Freddie's Oceanside Grill (http://bit.ly/kFhNW8). These great eateries offer food with a family-friendly atmosphere.

Fort Fisher Family Time
A great, carefree family destination for many is the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, which features more than 2,500 animals on display, touch pools, daily live presentations and feedings, and dialogues with divers in a large ocean tank. While you're there, be sure to check out the new, interactive Megalodon shark exhibit (http://bit.ly/ldliNN). Others might stop by the Fort Fisher State Historic Site to witness Civil War history - and occasionally catch the old cannons in action.

Pier Without Pressure
The oldest fishing pier on the Atlantic Coast offers superior views of the beach and ocean, and is a great spot for both fishing and laid-back people watching (http://bit.ly/qamU3T). The Kure Beach Fishing Pier offers history, scenery and family fun without any hustle or bustle.

Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry Fun
Take a ride on the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry for a popular and fun family day trip (http://bit.ly/ldliNN). Get a great view of the water and see seabirds in flight - don't forget to take a camera!
