We're looking for a romantic summer getaway near the ocean. Something cheap and in a nice warm place where you can swim. We're not big on crowds, so a place like Disney wouldn't be appropriate. We're open to any suggestions.

Since you don't want crowds.....You might want to try watching the San Diego Fireworks from Sea World. Combine a beach bonfire with a fireworks display for a totally romantic date that costs absolutely nothing. Fireworks at Sea World normally occur around 9:30 PM during the summer months only. The best areas for fireworks viewing are located in Mission Bay. The beaches have firepits for building a bonfire. You can even roast marshmellows and make s'mores.

I know it's going to sound a little crazy, and it's not near the ocean, but Pittsburgh always has great fireworks displays. Zambelli International is located nearby in New Castle, PA, and they're one of the best fireworks companies in the world. While there isn't an ocean, there is plenty of water with the 3 Rivers. You could find a nice secluded spot at Moraine State Park or somewhere like that where you could swim and be on the water and then you could come into the city to enjoy the city stuff. Lots to do in the Pittsburgh area inexpensively and lots of variety. PNC Park is beautiful!

I have been to so many places for the fireworks..Washington DC, New York, San Fran, New Orleans..etc...I thought the best place by far was Marathon Florida. It is in the Florida Keys. I not only saw one of the best shows I also watched the fireworks with palm trees all around and the sound of the breeze on the Gulf. And a sweet Mojito in my hand and my hubby by my side. I It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I would do it again and again.. Check out Marathon, Sombrero Beach.. No matter where you are 4th have a great time. here is a site to look at http://www.fla-keys.com/marathon/

Boston has the ultimate July 4th. If you can get close enough to hear the Boston Pops orchastra play, hey are syncronized to the fireworks. Truly memorable and you can easliy leave the Boston area for a place alson the shore. However since it's a holiday time, the rates are up.

Charleston is very romantic, but I don't know about swimming there. Or Bald Head Island if you are golfers.
