This live camera looks out over the harbour at Caernarfon, a small port town on the north Welsh coast. It is a useful window for checking the water, the weather over the Menai Strait and the mood of the waterfront before you travel.

About Caernarfon

Caernarfon sits at the mouth of the River Seiont where it meets the Menai Strait, facing the island of Anglesey. The town is best known for its medieval castle, built by Edward I, which dominates the old walled centre. Its harbour has long served fishing and leisure boats, and the surrounding landscape of Snowdonia rises to the east, giving the area its distinctive mix of sea and mountains.

What the camera shows

The view is of a harbour, so the water level, boat movement and changing light are the main things to follow. Depending on the angle and the tide, you may see moored vessels, the quayside and the strait beyond. Mornings and evenings often bring the clearest light, while grey or windy days show how quickly conditions on the Menai can change.

Climate and getting there

Caernarfon has a mild maritime climate, with cool summers, mild winters and rain spread through the year, so layers and waterproofs are sensible whatever the season. The town is a short drive from Llanberis and the mountain roads of Snowdonia. Nearby cameras on this site include Llanberis by Llyn Padarn, Rhosneigr beach on Anglesey and the Moelfre coast.
