amazing view of SpaceX rocket boosters returning<\/a>\u00a0to the pads. The best view to watch a rocket launch from the Space Coast is along the beach. However, visibility will depend on weather conditions and people should make sure not to block traffic or rights of way on bridges and to follow posted rules at beaches.<\/p>\nIf you are viewing the launch along the Indian River in Titusville from Space View Park or Parrish Park, look east directly across the river.<\/p>\n
If you are farther south along the Indian River, look northeast.<\/p>\n
Playalinda Beach or Canaveral National Seashore is the closest spot to view liftoff\u00a0because it is almost parallel to Launch Pad 39A. On the beach, look south along the coastline, (you can even see the pad from some spots).<\/p>\n
