Watching rocket launches from Lompoc, CA

Lompoc borders the base — this is where launch chasers stay. Popular spots include the Ocean Ave (Highway 246) corridor and Harris Grade Road for elevation. Marine fog is the main enemy; morning launches often disappear into the deck seconds after liftoff. Distances are approximate.
