Watch the Next Rocket Launch at Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort🚀
Cape Canaveral Launch Schedule: Next Rocket Launch Countdown
There's nothing quite like watching a rocket launch near Cape Canaveral and feeling the ground rumble as a rocket climbs into the sky above the Atlantic. Cocoa Beach sits just minutes south of Cape Canaveral, which gives guests at Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort one of the best seats on Florida's Space Coast for every liftoff. Check the live countdown below for the next rocket launch, then plan your getaway so you're on the sand when the engines ignite.
Our live countdown tracks the next scheduled launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center, including the mission, rocket, and launch window. Launch times can shift because of weather, technical checks, or range conditions, so check back often. We recommend planning a stay of a few nights around your target launch in case of a delay.

Suites Built for Launch Weekend: Spacious suites with room to spread out make it easy to host the whole family, prep snacks for the beach and relax between launch attempts.
