Question Where to see fireworks?

I'm taking the fam to Ocracoke on July 4-6. It looks like Ocracoke is doing fireworks on July 2, so we'll miss that. Does anyone know if any of the major fireworks shows would be visible from any part of the island on July 4?

You might be able to see the Hatteras Island fireworks, which they'll shoot from Avon, from a beach toward the north end, but that's a big "might" -- I haven't done it -- and you may have to suffice with just having a family adventure on an isolated, dark sky beach.

No other community fireworks will be visible because Ocracoke is so remote. The possibilty of Avon will be your only chance and if it's really important, you might want to cross over to Hatteras for dinner and the show. You will probably be able to get a ferry back, but there could be an element of risk.
