Watching a Rocket Launch from Jetty Park
Jetty Park and its pier sit at Port Canaveral, south of the launch pads.
Viewing spots at Jetty Park
What each spot is like, in my own words.

Jetty Park Pier
A fixed concrete pier at Jetty Park, one of the closest locations south of the launch pads. This is a great spot when optimizing for booster landings. Admissions can be tricky, so make sure to check latest ticketing information from their official website.

Cherie Down Park
This spot generally has decent parking and can be a good alternative to Jetty Park. In reality, this marker represents the fact that any spot up and down this stretch of beach is a great view, especially for booster landings.
