The beach off Cedar Point is great if we have a typical summer SW wind. You can see the fireworks from the islands, Huron, Vermillion and Cedar Point has a 30 minute show at 10pm. It's best to get there early if you want to be in close to the beach and be patient leaving.

How about Bay Village? They used to have a nice firework display. I am actually trailering back to OH for the 4th and had the same question. I think I am going to get a transient slip at Romps on the Vermillion River.

Last year while staying at Portside on Kelleys, we all jumped on 2 boats (Sea Rays no less) and went over to PIB and anchored out just outside the No Wake Zone at the Bay.
The conditions were quite calm, and as such the show was AWESOME.
Here is a photo of our anchorage. Directly in front of my bow is the barge that they launched the fireworks from. Front row view.
Yea, there were alot of boats, but with the calm conditions it was truely relaxing.
We waited for a good hour after the show to let everyone else leave first and enjoyed a nice ride back to Kelleys.
Hoping to do the same thing again this year.

yeah, I think they'll fill up, but there are a lot of them. If you can get there early, you'll have a shot.

I will be surprised if there are empty mooring balls on Saturday, but stranger things have happened. The worst spot this wkd will be close to a pier in the public docks because you'll have rowdy drunks rafted to you and they'll step across your boat and grind the flies in. By Sat morning tho, if you can't hook a ball, you'd probably be a raft-er instead of the raftee. That's not as bad.
