This live stream looks out over El Buey Beach on the coast of Arica, in northern Chile. It is useful for checking how the shoreline and the sea look right now before you plan a walk or a swim. The page also shows local time and the weather forecast for the city.
Arica sits on the Pacific coast close to the border with Peru, where the Atacama Desert meets the ocean. The city is known for its warm, dry climate, its sunny beaches and the mix of Andean and coastal culture that shapes local life. El Buey is one of the beaches along this stretch of coast, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by dark cliffs, sand and open water.
Depending on the view, the stream may show the surf, the sand and the movement of people and boats along the shore. Conditions tend to change most with the tide and with the morning and afternoon winds. Late afternoon, when the light softens over the water, is often a good moment to check the scene, though exact conditions depend on the weather on the day.
Arica is famous for its mild, stable climate, so temperatures are pleasant for much of the year, with little rain. Mornings are often cooler and cloudier near the coast. Nearby, the Isla Alacrán beach camera shows another stretch of shoreline only about one kilometre away, and the Iquique beaches are roughly two hours further south by road.
Use the live player to see the beach as it is now, and the weather block to compare conditions with your plans. Because the stream belongs to its source, the page links back to it for the original feed.
