This live camera looks out over Star Island, the largest of the Isles of Shoals, a small rocky group about ten kilometres off the New Hampshire coast. Watch the water and sky as they change through the day, and check current conditions before planning a crossing.
About the island
Star Island lies in the Gulf of Maine, part of the Isles of Shoals that straddle the border between New Hampshire and Maine. The island is known for its historic buildings, its role as a summer conference and retreat centre, and its open, windswept character. Its shoreline is rock rather than sand, and the surrounding sea changes colour quickly with the light and the wind.
What to watch on the camera
Depending on the view, you may see open water, the horizon, boats moving between the islands and the sky over the coast. Early mornings and the hour around sunset tend to be the most atmospheric, when light falls low across the water. Clear days show the most detail, while fog and low cloud can often roll in quickly in this part of the Atlantic.
Practical notes
The islands are reached by boat, usually from ports on the New Hampshire coast such as Portsmouth or Rye, and services depend on the season. Summers are mild and pleasant, while winters are cold and seas can be rough. Nearby cameras on Appledore Island and Wood Island show the wider archipelago from other angles.
