Nothing says summer in Fort Myers more than fireworks on the Fourth of July! If you are planning a trip to any of Southwest Florida’s local beaches on the Fourth, here are the firework times. Fireworks start at dusk at all locations and dusk on the 4th will be approximately 9 PM.

If you plan on photographing fireworks this Independence Day, here are a few tips: use a tripod, try longer shutter speeds, use a low ISO speed (this will keep the light of the fireworks crisp) and most of all don’t use a flash!
