Pet-Friendly Beach Adventures in Kure Beach
Few places feel as magical as a quiet beach in winter. At Freeman Park, dogs can roam freely off-leash from October to March, their tails wagging as they explore the expansive sands. Watching the joy on their faces as they chase waves or sniff driftwood is a priceless experience.
Meanwhile, the tranquil stretch of Kure Beach offers plenty of space for long, leisurely walks. The gentle sound of the ocean and the sight of your dog bounding through the sand under a pastel winter sky create memories you’ll cherish forever.

Guest Spotlight: Happy Tails at Seabirds
"Would definitely stay at Seabirds again. Very clean and perfect location. Convenient for dog owners. We were off season but the pool and grilling area were very nice. The room was small but creative uses of space and very neat. We had everything we needed. Guest gifts added a nice finishing touch."- Debbie R., ★★★★★ Google Review
"We enjoyed our visit to Seabirds for a long weekend. My parents brought us to Kure Beach every summer for vacation. We stayed in the old Morgan's then, but now after much needed renovations, Seabirds welcomed us with a more modern time. Cozy, clean and refreshed. The location was perfect for strolling around the quaint town of Kure Beach, NC. The pier was right around the corner close to the local eateries. I highly recommend Seabirds for anyone searching for a pet friendly, reasonably priced jewel! The beach is within your reach! Hope you enjoy a stay of your own!! Thank you Seabirds for the new memories and all of the old ones I enjoyed while there." - Susie V. ★★★★★ Google Review
