Did you know that one of the oldest fishing piers in the entire Atlantic Coast lies right here in North Carolina?

Built in 1923, the historic Kure Beach Fishing Pier has survived a century of coastal storms, stretches 711 feet into the ocean, and is completely free to walk on.

But the pier is just the beginning... Kure Beach is packed with hidden military and maritime history, from historic battlegrounds to WWII marsh trails.

This stamp is one that will make an impact.
