This live camera looks over the harbour at Channel-Port aux Basques, the southwestern gateway of Newfoundland and the terminal for ferries crossing from Nova Scotia. Watching it gives a direct sense of the comings and goings of a working Atlantic port and of the sea conditions facing the island's south coast.

About the place

Channel-Port aux Basques sits on the southwestern tip of the island of Newfoundland, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The town grew around its deep natural harbour, which made it an important stop for shipping and ferry traffic for well over a century. The surrounding landscape is rugged coastline, bare hills and open Atlantic water, shaped by wind and fog for much of the year.

What you can watch

The stream is a harbour view, so the most rewarding moments tend to be arrivals and departures, when ships move in and out of the port. Weather changes quickly here, and wind, swell and fog can alter the scene within an hour. Early mornings and evenings often bring softer light on the water, though the actual view depends on conditions at the time you look.

Climate and getting around

Summers are cool and often breezy, while winters are long, cold and stormy, with heavy snow and strong winds off the Atlantic. The best months for mild weather are usually July and August. Corner Brook, about 176 km away, is the nearest larger town on the island, and several cameras in the region, including those on Miquelon and Saint-Pierre, show other coastal places across the water.
