This years 4th of July fireworks locations on Hilton Head Island will be Harbourtown, Shelter Cove and Skull Creek Marina.  While the fireworks will be set off from these three areas, they can also be enjoyed from a boat, a dock, the beach or even Daufuskie Island.   This years high tide will be around 6 pm, so when the fireworks are set off there will be plenty of beach to watch them from.  Below are the hours for the Hilton Head Islands 4th of July Firework displays!

  • Palmetto Dunes Fireworks try Scotts Fish Market, Bistro 17, San Miguels, Little Venice or Ocean Grille
