We keep telling you that Southwest Florida is just about the best place for boating in the U.S. To help prove that point, why not get out on the water and enjoy your 4th of July Fireworks from the water. The view is always the best from the water side. You get the fireworks themselves and usually some great reflections off the water as well. You don’t have to fight traffic and parking issues. And you don’t have to lug coolers and chairs all over the place. There are plenty of options for a great evening on the water. Here’s a list of waterfront fireworks we came up with.
