I have seen several launches and have viewed them in different places, from the Visitor area right at the Cape, to the beach behind Ron Jon's. But I believe the absolutely perfect place is on the east side of the causeway bridge over the Banana River on 528. You have a completely unobstructed view of the shuttle on the pad, and watching it lift off. They also usually have a van setup that has loudspeakers on it from Launch Control, which is great if there are any delays. Also the van provides for a small donation, I think I gave several bucks for a certificate they print right there and give to you that has your name, date, and the Shuttle Mission Number saying you saw it live, your grandkids would probably like that.
There is a lot of room for parking at that area off the road. But get there early as it fills up.
