All 3 Viewing Spots — Myrtle Beach, SC
Myrtle Beach Boardwalk / 2nd Avenue Pier
High crowd · park · Free
The 4th of July fireworks are launched directly from the 2nd Avenue Pier over the Atlantic at 9:00 PM; watch from anywhere along the 1.2-mile Boardwalk between the 14th Avenue and 2nd Avenue Piers. Use the 9th Avenue North Parking Garage or the 2nd Avenue Pier Lot, and grab a rooftop table at RipTydz to dodge the sand crowds. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Broadway at the Beach (Lake Broadway)
High crowd · Arrive by 10:00 PM · park · Free
Broadway shoots fireworks over the 27-acre Lake Broadway at 10:00 PM and runs displays five consecutive nights for its 30th-birthday year, so arrive early, eat dinner at a lakefront restaurant (Lulu's, Landry's), then claim a lakeside rail spot before 8:30 PM. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
Cherry Grove Pier (North Myrtle Beach)
Medium crowd · park · Free
Shells launch from the nearly 1,000-ft pier at 9:30 PM; the 3500 block of Ocean Blvd and 300 ft of beach on each side of the pier clear at 7:00 PM, so stake your beach spot in the afternoon. Police run a reverse traffic pattern afterward — expect a slow exit and consider walking in from a few blocks away. Show type: unconfirmed — verify before attending.
