Plan A Different Kind Of Holiday Getaway The Whole Family Can Enjoy At Kure Beach, N.C.
North Carolina Beach Destination Offers Parents And Children Holiday Celebrations Coastal Style
KURE BEACH, NC, November 18, 2011 /Travel PR News/ -- Kure Beach (http://www.visitkure.com), the perfect setting to escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, provides families with a wide range of festive seaside activities both parents and their children can enjoy while still finding time to unplug and relax.
The popular North Carolina vacation spot offers visitors a chance to experience old-fashioned celebrations that recall days gone by with a family-friendly spin for today that are sure to become holiday traditions. Kure Beach's tranquil setting is the perfect backdrop to slow down and truly enjoy a season of wonder, filled with dazzling lights, fireworks and fun for everyone.
Many people plan their spending carefully this time of year, but that doesn't mean visitors have to skip out on a quiet and relaxing getaway. During the holidays, Kure Beach inns and beach house rentals are available at rates much lower than the rest of the year (http://bit.ly/mP394z). Families at all budget levels can find the perfect fit for their seasonal celebrations.
After kicking off the holidays with a beachside Thanksgiving, visitors can take their families to Carolina Beach Lake Park on Friday, Nov. 25 for the Island of Lights "Light Up The Lake" event, which marks the beginning of the month-long Island of Lights Festival. The kid-friendly festival continues throughout December with a nighttime Christmas parade, decorated boats at the holiday flotilla (for kids of all ages) and tour of homes (for the parents), and wraps up with a spectacular New Year's Eve countdown celebration on the Boardwalk at nearby Carolina Beach featuring fireworks, dancing and a giant beach ball drop (http://bit.ly/oD2zh6), sure to impress both young and old. Visitors are encouraged to attend the Kure Beach Christmas Fantasy Show, where lively characters entertain families with singing and dancing (and a little bit of snow!). Many also choose to include a trip to the Fort Fisher State Historic Site & Civil War museum for a Holiday Open House on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
