In the coverage of the launch I can see some spectators standing on a grass verge with a big countdown clock. Which vantage point
is
that? Is it the VIP viewing area about 3 miles away or the causeway viewing area 6 miles away?

Neither. It is the Press Site between the Launch Control Center and
the barge turning basin. You need press credentials to be there for a
launch.
