Fourth of July Fireworks at Naples Beach - 9 p.m. Get to the beach early. Most fireworks-watchers show up at least an hour early to take in the Naples sunset. The fireworks are shot from a barge 1,000 feet from the Naples Pier, but any spot along the beaches (generally from Lowdermilk Park to south of the Pier) are great seats to a Naples tradition that lasts about 25 minutes. Bring your own chairs and blankets, but leave the sparklers, fireworks and Chinese lanterns at home. Park enforcement is strict and the beaches will be crowded so expect a wait in heavy traffic on your trip back home. Free. Call 239.213.1000 for information.
