Not a spot could be found along the boardwalk either as locals lined the shore ready for a fireworks show. And they were not disappointed. A truly spectacular display of fireworks were launched from the pier, illuminating the 2025 with backlighting and showcasing the iconic A-frame, making for excellent commemorative photos.

Revelers were glad to see fireworks back in Flagler Beach, nabbing front row seats at area hot spots like Tortugas Florida Kitchen and Bar and Finn’s.
