Photographer Bob Sofaly caught a few people enjoying the July 4 holiday in Beaufort and Port Royal before the rain canceled most of the day’s scheduled activities. But the rains were gone by the time it was time for fireworks.

The Alvin Settles Pool at the Charles Lind Brown Recreation Center was the right place to be Tuesday, July 4, as the temperature was already about 90 by noon. Here, the adults are enjoying playing with their children as others take advantage of cool water. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
Hundreds of people crammed onto The Sands for the annual July Fourth fireworks display Tuesday night in Port Royal. Thunderstorms moved into the area causing all the afternoon and evening entertainment to be canceled. The rain and lightning stopped, the skies cleared and the fireworks went on without a hitch.
