This live camera looks out toward Casco Bay from the Portland Head Light area, where the lighthouse guards the entrance to Portland Harbor. It suits anyone wanting to see how the Atlantic coast of Maine looks right now, from calm summer water to grey winter swell.
A lighthouse on Maine's coast
Portland Head Light sits on Cape Elizabeth at the southern edge of Casco Bay, one of the oldest working lighthouses in the United States. The bay itself is dotted with granite islands, and the coastline is rocky, with spruce woods running down to the water. The area is a popular spot for walks along the shore and for photographing the tower against the sea.
What to watch on the camera
The title points to a view over Casco Bay, so expect open water, islands and passing boats, with the weather changing the look of the scene a great deal. Early morning and late afternoon often bring softer light across the bay. Clear days give the widest visibility, while fog or rain can roll in quickly off the Atlantic, so check the local weather block before deciding when to watch.
Climate and getting around
Summers in southern Maine are mild and the best season for visiting, while winters are cold with snow and strong winds. Portland, the largest city in the state, is a short drive away and nearby cameras cover South Portland's waterfront, Government Dock and Peaks Island, which give further views of the bay from different angles.
