Chow down on some of America’s best donuts

There are no sprinkles and no fluff at Carolina Beach Boardwalk staple Britt’s Donuts. Barefoot beachgoers have been lining up to get a no-frills, Britt’s glazed donut delicacy since 1939. The current owner, Bobby Nivens, was a longtime employee who served under the Britt family before buying the business in 1974. The ownership may have changed hands, but the top-secret donut-making process stayed the same (they say the secret is in the glaze). If you’re looking for a Britt’s donut, the family-run business is only open during the summer months. Lines can stretch down the boardwalk, but a five-star Yelp review confirms the donuts are worth the wait.
