Where can you see a SpaceX launch in Brevard County?

Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover, SpaceX rocket launches should be visible from almost anywhere in Brevard County. And a few minutes after takeoff, there is usually a hum.

When there is a launch window in the middle of the night or very early in the morning, there is a unique photo opportunity — a rocket lights up the dark sky, followed by a wake makes a great photo.

Space Coast Weather Radar: Will it rain in Melbourne, Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral in Florida today?

National Weather Service Melbourne radar is shown, showing real-time conditions for the Space Coast and other parts of Florida. The current date and time is displayed in the lower right corner of this radar; otherwise you may need to clear the cache.

Almost everywhere in brevard you will see a rocket view launch – in certain areas you can get amazing view of the return of the SpaceX rocket boosters to 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, so people should take care not to block traffic or lanes on bridges, and follow the rules on beaches.

If you’re watching the launch along the Indian River in Titusville from Space View Park or Parrish Park, look east straight across the river.

If you are further south along the Indian River, look northeast.

Playa Linda Beach or Canaveral National Seashore is the closest takeoff viewing location since it is almost parallel to Launch Pad 39A. At the beach, look south along the shoreline (you can even see the playground from some spots).
