What is the primary area recommended for observing launches departing from KSC in person?

The Space Coast of Florida.

For individuals wishing to witness a space launch physically, especially those originating from the historic NASA facilities at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), the designated principal region for viewing is the Space Coast located in Florida. While specific locations within this region exist, such as ticketed areas within the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex or public spots along causeways, the overarching geographic area identified for optimal viewing of these liftoffs is the Space Coast. This region is geographically positioned advantageously for easterly launches over the Atlantic Ocean, which is the typical trajectory for missions leaving KSC.
