Where to Watch Fireworks at the Jersey Shore for Summer 2025
Every year, the Jersey Shore welcomes locals and bennies to enjoy a quintessential summer experience: fireworks at the beach. A long day of swimming in the ocean, skeeball, sunbathing, ice cream, and salt water taffy can only be topped off by enjoying a breezy summer night sitting on a blanket watching a spectacular pyrotechnics show with loved ones. From spectating on the eclectic Asbury Park Boardwalk or while going on family-friendly amusement rides at Jenkinsons to casino-hopping in Atlantic City, each location provides a fun and unique fireworks-viewing experience. Read on for a growing list of where to catch fireworks at the Jersey Shore in 2025.
