Bayfront Seawall / Shoreline Boulevard
High crowd · park · Free
Post up along the Shoreline Blvd seawall and T-Heads near Water's Edge Park where the Coastal Comida food-truck fest runs all day — pack a lawn chair or blanket and stake your claim early, then tune a portable radio to the simulcast for music-synced bursts.

USS Lexington flight deck (North Beach)
Medium crowd · Arrive by 6:00 PM · park · Free
Buy a ticketed Red, White & Boom viewing party on the LEX flight deck (doors 6:45 p.m., often sells out in advance) — you watch the barge fireworks from an aircraft-carrier deck right across the bay; note the Burleson St. exit closes by 6 p.m. so enter via Beach Ave. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Cole Park Amphitheater
Medium crowd · park · Free
Bring a picnic to Cole Park's bayfront amphitheater for the free Bay Jammin' live music and one of the best waterfront fireworks views south of downtown — far calmer than the seawall and the show is visible all the way from North Beach to Cole Park. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
