Where to watch

The best seats are free.

On the beach

  • New Smyrna
    Flagler Ave beach approachWalk out to the water and face south down the coast. Get there 30 minutes early; the lots fill up.
  • New Smyrna
    27th Avenue ParkFree parking, restrooms and a beach walkover. Face south.
  • New Smyrna
    Apollo Beach, Canaveral National SeashoreSouth of New Smyrna and miles closer to the pads. Park entry fee, and the gate closes at night.
  • Daytona
    Main Street PierFarther north, so the rocket shows up low on the southern horizon a beat later. Night launches look great over the water.
  • Daytona Beach Shores
    Sunglow PierA pier with a clear look south down the beach.
  • Port Canaveral
    Jetty ParkNext door to the Cape. Parking fee, and it sells out for big launches.

On the lagoon & river

  • Oak Hill
    Seminole Rest, Mosquito LagoonThe closest spot in Volusia: open water straight to the pads. Small lot, limited hours.
  • Edgewater
    Riverside Drive along the riverBenches on the water and a wide-open southern sky.
  • Titusville
    Space View ParkRight across the river from Kennedy. Packed on big launch days; go early.

Please don't stop on bridges or causeways. It's illegal on most of them and it causes wrecks every launch.
