    I grew up at Kure Beach, many years ago! We pronounced it cure, like you cure meat. I had never heard it pronounced Kureee until I moved to the western part of NC. Next time you go to Southport, ask the locals how to get to “the point .” There you can wade in the water and find live sand dollars!

Wonder if I can talk hubby into leaving to go down a day early to take a tour. He’s always talked about the battleship. Bacon cooked over a fire is the best!! Was always one of my favorite meals!!
