This live camera looks out over Bastia, the largest town on the east coast of Corsica. It is useful for seeing current conditions on the water and in the town before planning a ferry crossing, a drive along the coast, or a day in the old port area.

A port town on the Tyrrhenian coast

Bastia grew around its harbour and remains the economic centre of northern Corsica, with a mix of Genoese-era streets, a busy commercial port and a working fishing fleet. The town sits on a sheltered bay with mountains rising quickly behind it, so the light and the sea can change noticeably within a short time. The atmosphere is that of a lively, lived-in Mediterranean port rather than a resort.

What to watch and when

Depending on the angle of the view, you may see boats moving in and out, ferry traffic, the waterfront and the colours of the town at different hours. Early morning and late afternoon usually bring the softest light over the water, while clear days show the surrounding hills most sharply. Sea state and cloud cover are the things most worth checking before you travel.

Practical notes for visiting

Corsica has mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, and the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable for walking. Bastia Poretta airport is about 18 km away, and Macinaggio on Cap Corse, L'Île-Rousse and Calvi are all reachable by road along the coast. The other cameras in the region are listed on this page for comparison of conditions.
