We're less than a week away from the Fourth of July holiday and let's be honest, there are few holiday weekends as awesome as the Fourth of July weekend.

Not only are there so many things you could be doing around Western New York, but the weather is usually great too. The forecasts are calling for the mid-70s and sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday, after a scare last week that we might get plenty of rain.

Although there won't be quite as many firework shows this year as a normal Fourth of July weekend, it will be way more than 2020, which featured next to none.

Some towns have their fireworks back for the Fourth of July this weekend, such as the Town of Tonawanda and Lancaster, which are always some of the most popular in Western New York. Hyde Park in Niagara Falls will also be returning with a fireworks show.

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
