Operational every summer since 1939, this is a Carolina Beach institution! Hot, glazed donuts on the boardwalk, you must make at least one stop at Britt's during your vacation. Get there early, as the line builds through the day. Don't wait, eat them there at the counter with a cold glass of milk. When hot and fresh, Britt's donuts are melt in your mouth delicious!
