On July 4, 2010, San Diego Bay sky will be lighted with different colors and forms coming from pyrotechnic show as the 10th Annual Big Bay Boom Pyrotechnic Show will be conducted. And the best place for you to view it is in Shelter Island, or you also have Harbor Island as an option. Other best place to go to would be North Embarcadero or the the area between Seaport Village and Coronado Ferry Landing where barges were placed strategically in order to let the viewing public appreciate the well funded annual fireworkds display.
Aside from Shelter Island, other perfect spots to view the show are Harbor Isalnd, Spanish Landing, North and South Embarcadero Marino Parks, Cesar Chavez Park, Coronado Tidelands Park, and the Imperial Pier. You may want to bring telescopic cameras so you could take photos of the spectacular sky views in details.
Why Shelter Island is the best place you should go to for this event? Because Shelter Island is an 8,000 acres of soil swamp with fog that is situated in the middle of North and Souths forks of Long Island. Also, Shelter Island can be reached through shuttle ferries from greenport or North Haven while the country road through the island is Route 114.
Historically, about 100 years ago, Shelter Island used to be a farming community with few fish factories lining its shores. Today, Shelter Island it is now a summer resort with around 2,500 permanent residents which goes up to 8,000 during summer. Just like New York City where land is expensive, Shelter Island only has 40 building permits. It has two post offices: one in The Heights and the other one in The Center.
Shelter Island has a library and a school for Grade K to Grade 12 in The Center which is goodnews to students and individuals who do research. For those who are sports enthusiasts or health and wellness conscious, their is a Golf course open for public but with pay.
There are also four public beaches and a beach club for you to go to in case you are bored of doing nothing. Social life is also being given with utmost importance by having Yacht Club for socializing and yachting of families; hotels with various sizes and styles; and a wide variation of restaurants that meet every taste and purse. And if you are reader and information addict, newspapers can be bought at the Pharmacy, Heights and Tomis, Center. Yes, there are plenty of stores which sells everything a person should need but there are no any public movie theaters which is understandable so that your attention will not be diverted.
