There's still time to enjoy a Britt's Donut...

Fall on Pleasure Island means uncrowded beaches, crisp cool air, sea turtles hatching, and fun events like Island Day and the Seafood, Blues and Jazz Fest. Unfortunately it also means saying a fond farewell to our beloved Britt's Donuts for the off-season.

But don't worry - the little shop on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk will be open a few more weeks with reduced hours. Britt's will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the month of September.

Yum!

Update: Wondering when does Britt's Donuts open in 2012? We've got the answer here!
