Carolina Beach Boardwalk

The Carolina Beach Boardwalk has been around since the 1930s. One of the few vintage boardwalks on the East Coast, it has been ranked as one of the top 10 of its kind by Food & Wine magazine. 

There are tons of places to eat and drink at the boardwalk! The Shuckin’ Shack, Carolina Smokehouse, Crush and Grind, the world-famous Britt’s Donuts, Hurricane Alley’s and more. Find the perfect souvenir, beach gear, clothing and local art at one of the many shops.
