Lots of boats come down the bay.

Fireworks are shot off a barge that is anchored outside the floating bandstand.

You can anchor inside the floating bandstand, like out in front of the town docks, and listen to the concert.

You can also anchor from a line straight across the bay from around the Back Bay bridge, and then out the bay to Sandy Point and beyond.

Come early and stay late. Fireworks are great because they reverberate off the hills surrounding the bay. Really adds to the show.

Like anywhere, it is a mad dash to get out of the bay. I sit back and let them go, and enjoy the red / green / white light show. Once it settles down, we do a slow crawl back to our dock.
