If you feel like getting off the beach mid-day, the businesses downtown have a very very long pagara on the 31st. Check out the videos on youtube.

the street that has DAKOTA strip mall has a huge.............2oo yds worth of the pagara on the 31st. stop at any of the businesses along the way before the 21st to ask the time of the "explosions".

Where would you suggest is the best place to be to see the fireworks? Are they set off from the store area? I would assume the high-rises would block the view if you're on the beach.

Have you seen the display in prior years? Do you know how long it usually lasts?

*Andrea J.* · 12-16-2011, 07:57 PM

the display lasts about 30+ minutes

i would recommend being in the parking lots near the store.

We viewed them from the parking lot next to the Chamber of Commerce (across the street from the Tamarijn), north of the Central Bank, and it was perfect.

that is a good spot!

There was plenty of parking until the lot filled, but everyone listened to the simulcast on their car radios

The fireworks were every bit as good as Disney's 4th of July fireworks.
