The Lexington side of the Lake Murray dam was an excellent place to view fireworks. You can park at the state park or temporarily along the highway but you must remain behind the white line. Law enforcement was very active and professional. Get there early, bring a chair or blanket, find a spot through the trees. This image was created with a 400 mm, f11, ISO 1000, 2.5 sec exposure. The multi-colored lights, at the bottom of the frame, come from 25 boats viewing the fireworks up close. We selected this spot to avoid traffic and leave quickly once done.

Absolutely beautiful public beach! $5 parking fee but it lasts all day! Easy parking to beach walk, love seeing all different races here together! Met a new friend from Puebla, Mexico and gave us some tips about SC! Water was refreshing, clean, concrete steps to the water. Bring a towel...don't sit on grass without something under your toosh! Got bit by some crazy little ants...buggers!

$5 admission got you lots of parking. Excellent Beach with calm waters for swimming. Several areas to BBQ with covered park benches and tables.

Nice place to have fun with the family at a lake beach. There are outdoor grills available with a large sandy beach area. There are steps to enter the water over the rocks in other places.
