Seafood Atlantic: Waterfront Dining & Rocket Launch Viewing
4.4•Seafood restaurant•Closed
Seafood Atlantic is a casual and beloved seafood restaurant and market located on the Port Canaveral waterfront in Florida. It’s a local favorite for visitors who want to enjoy fresh, sustainably sourced seafood with views of the harbor, passing boats, and wildlife — plus it’s an excellent dining option before or after watching a rocket launch on the Space Coast.
This unique restaurant started as a seafood market and still sources much of its fresh catch directly from American fishermen along the South Atlantic. Guests can dine on local favorites like crab boils, grouper sandwiches, oysters, shrimp baskets, and more while soaking in waterfront views of Port Canaveral — a laid-back backdrop that pairs well with launch-day excitement.
Although Seafood Atlantic doesn’t sit directly on a beach launch-viewing bluff, its prime position on the inlet makes it easy to pair a relaxed meal here with a nearby rocket launch viewing spot such as Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar’s deck or Jetty Park Beach. On clear launch days, visitors often time lunch or dinner here, then head to launch vantage points that offer open sky views toward the launch pads.
