Falcon Heavy Demo Launch - Best Public Viewing Area?

[Tesl@ Bargain]

We'll be in Florida at the end of the year, which means if the date of December 29 should hold, we would be able to watch our very first rocket launch live.

Can anyone recommend the best possible publicly accessible spot for watching that launch?

Plenty of good websites that discuss this:
Rocket Launch Viewing at Cape Canaveral: Where & How to Watch, View and See Atlas 5, Delta 4 & Falcon 9 Launches
10 great places to watch a rocket launch
Rocket Launch Viewing | Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral, Titusville

The Falcon Heavy will launch from historic LC-39A. So focus on places that work best for that launch site.

Good luck.

How about the RTLS views? With the potential for two boosters coming back to Florida, is there an ideal spot to be to see both of those returns, and the launch?

The NASA Causeway seems like a decent spot for both launch and landing. Definitely want to be in a good spot for both!

I was fortunate to watch the first way back in 2015 from the Jetty Park with my kids. Was packed and a great place to watch. When Stage 1 had its reentry burn, it looked like it was going to land on top of us.
