It’s very Florida to watch a rocket launch while on the beach.
Sunny’s beautiful midday rocket launch in Florida? That’s the (potential) plan!
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carries Starlink Internet Beam satellites into low Earth orbit at the Kennedy Space Center. SpaceX release and date will likely be on the afternoon of Tuesday, February 11th (see below).
The Rockets will be available from the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, east of Orlando’s theme parks and Cape Canaveral, Florida. Depending on the cloud cover, weather and visibility, people from Daytona Beach to Titusville, Melbourne Beach and Vero Beach have a wonderful stripe in the sky considering its proximity to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. You may be able to see it.
Below are some suggestions you should know where to see rocket launches from this area and more. If there is a change in the launch schedule, this story will be updated.

Where can I see the launch of the rocket in Florida? Is there a sonic boom with every launch from Cape Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center?
With weather allowed and cloud cover, rocket launches from the space shore could be visible to almost every part of Brevard County. The evening releases especially offer beautiful views. After booting, there is usually a rumble here, and there is a possibility of window shaking.
Some rocket launches have added bonuses. SpaceX boosters either return to the Atlantic drone ship or sometimes back to the company’s landing zone in Cape Canaveral. When the booster returns to the landing zone, there is a sonic boom.
When there is a startup window in the middle of the night or early in the morning, there are unique photo opportunities. The rocket illuminates the dark sky and the powder afterwards makes a great photo.
What time will the next rocket be released from Florida? Tuesday, February 11th: SpaceX Starlink 12-18

If you’re further south along the Indian River, look northeast.
The Playalinda Beach or Canaveral National Sheashore is almost parallel to the launch pad 39A, making it the closest place to see the lift-off. On the beach, look south along the coastline (you can even see the pads from several spots).
