WHERE TO WATCH

Pick your horizon.

Pad, trajectory, access rules and crowds can make one location better than another on a given mission.

Titusville

Space View Park

Riverfront launch view roughly 15 miles across from the pads, with spaceflight monuments and downtown nearby.

Titusville

Parrish Park

Wide Indian River shoreline views and substantial parking near the Max Brewer Bridge.

Canaveral National Seashore

Playalinda Beach

One of the closest public beach-viewing areas when access is open for the mission.

Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach Pier / Cocoa Beach

Easy beach viewing with restaurants and a full beach-town day around it.

Port Canaveral

Jetty Park

Beach and port views that work especially well for Cape-side trajectories.

South Brevard

Melbourne Beaches

Farther from the pads, but night launches can still dominate the sky all the way south toward Sebastian Inlet.
