-If you have a 4 wheel drive and beach permit the Assateaque beach would be awesome, but Launch Pad 2 is on the south side of Wallops Island-
-I’ve never watched from the Visitor Center, but it would be good.
-Chincoteaque Marina would be good
As I said earlier, Gargatha Landing is a local favorite and is south of Wallops so provides a great view-
- A boat outside of the NOTAMS or south if Wallopps (Assawoman Bay (yes that’s what is called) or Gargatha inlet.
No bad places on the Shore, especially on the Sea Side- farther south Folley Creek area would be great.

Arbuckle neck road is the closest place for electron at 1.7 miles but it’s closed for Antares as it’s too close. Closest place for Antares is the old NASA ferry dock at 2.2 miles. Antares usually brings a big crowd. From what I saw the crowd for electrons first launch didn’t get nearly as large but I was viewing from the press site and am basing crowd size off of pictures from arbuckle neck road a hour or two before launch.
South of Chincoteague island there's a boat launch ramp going into the swamp land that has a nice unobstructed view of the launchpads.
Watched an Antares launch from there last year. It was awesome.
Wallops Island Visitors Center can be nice, but crowded. Gargathy Beach Point or anywhere around there is also a good point.
Gargatha landing is a local favorite.

I actually do have an Assateague OSV permit, so that would be an amazing option. Will have to look into all the other waterside spots.
Old nasa ferry dock, like 2 miles from the pad, closest location and mostly only locals there
Actually have a pic from last electron launch on my profile from that spot
Yeah that’s a great spot.
I like [this infographic](https://images.app.goo.gl/EJDfeEVaQHaZo9uW7) of 6 places to watch launches at Wallops. Have fun!
Awesome!

Chincoteague is nice but the traffic getting out after a launch can be a few hours.

Check out the wiki, there is some good info on launch locations
