I think one of the best ways to see Fourth of July fireworks is at the beach. Nothing beats watching fireworks at the beach. A million little colorful sparks in bigger-than-life patterns etched for a moment onto the vast night sky before fading away and another one takes its place. The rhythmic sound of the ocean waves mingling with the rock music and cheers from the crowd.
Wow!
We’ve been to the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea celebration and it was one of the best July Fourth memories I’ve had.
