Watching rocket launches from Daytona Beach, FL
Daytona Beach is one of the best free viewing areas outside the immediate Cape area — about 80 km up the coast. Watch from the beach looking south: the vehicle clears the horizon seconds after liftoff and arcs out over the Atlantic in front of you. Distances are approximate.
