Happy times! Britt's is open

Ah, the joys of fantastic donuts!

The day that locals anxiously wait for and visitors hear about as they cross into Carolina Beach is finally here…Britt’s Donuts is open for the season.

The Nivens family has operated Britt’s Donuts on the Boardwalk in Carolina Beach for more than 30 years.

The line began forming for the infamous donuts well before the doors opened at 4 p.m. on Friday.
