Spectacular Fireworks Light Up Asbury Park Beach

ASBURY PARK, NJ – The weather for the fireworks display on the beach in Asbury Park could not have been better on Wednesday night. On a cool night in the beginning of July, the most comfortable outfit seemed to be a hoodie sweatshirt paired with shorts and flip-flops. Families packed the boardwalk while over a dozen boats sat just off the beach, watching the fireworks that started promptly at 9:00 PM.

Businesses along the boardwalk were jammed with customers in places like The Break and Low Dive , along with other establishments like Coney Waffle. The fireworks display, in anticipation of tomorrow's celebration of Independence Day, lasted for approximately 15 minutes and lit up the sky to the delight of the crowd on the boardwalk. There was a diverse cross-section of people from Asbury Park and the rest of Monmouth County.
