CAROLINA BEACH, NC –  Carolina Beach is announcing the addition of seven new businesses to its award-winning Boardwalk this summer. The newest shops at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk will range from a new arcade to a locally owned sandwich shop and a specialty store with over 500 varieties of salsas, BBQ sauces and other condiments.

The Carolina Beach Boardwalk is a beloved icon that has made Budget Travel’s list of America’s Most Awesome Boardwalks and has been featured by CNN, FOX News, USA TODAY and more. The new businesses will join existing Boardwalk favorites like Britt’s Donuts, serving its famous glazed donuts since 1939; the Fudgeboat, known for its hand made butter and cream fudge; Wheel Fun Rentals, offering everything from surrey bikes built for eight to surfboards and boogie boards; and seaside amusement rides during the summer months.

The Boardwalk received a facelift in 2015 including 16-foot walkways, additional ADA accessible beach access points, and enhanced beach access. A brand new Hampton Inn & Suites, located oceanfront and near the Boardwalk, is slated to open later this summer. Thanks to the new additions, Boardwalk visitors will have even more shops, restaurants and things to during their next visit to Carolina Beach.
