Sand Dunes Motel
If you're planning a beach vacation for the whole family, the Sand Dunes Motel is a great option, especially if you're looking to save some money. Cook meals in one of their efficiency apartments or grill out on the beach and enjoy the oceanfront picnic tables. While away the day at the motel's oceanfront pool, and in the afternoon, take the kids to the local arcade, or plan for a dinner out at one of the great restaurants located a block way at the Kure Beach Pier (Freddie's is a locals' favorite for Italian cuisine). On a rainy day, the whole family will enjoy the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, a few minutes drive south, and make sure to stop by the historical battlements of Fort Fisher itself, one of the last defended trade routes for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
