San Diego is such a great place to watch reworks for the Fourth of July! You don’t have to spend any money to see a great show and celebrate our country’s birth. You can find a spot on a hilltop, along the roadside, at the bay, your local park, or just look skyward outside of Legoland, SeaWorld, or San Diego’s Big Bay.
