Duluth Beach Cam at Solglimt B&B – Ship Canal View

About this camera

This Beach Cam, streaming since August 16, 2024, looks out over the Duluth Ship Canal from the south side of the famous Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth, Minnesota. It's hosted at Solglimt B&B, a bed and breakfast on Minnesota Point, the long sandbar known locally as Park Point.

The canal is the gateway between Lake Superior and the Duluth-Superior harbour, one of the busiest ports on the Great Lakes. Huge lake freighters, known as lakers, and ocean-going salties pass through, with the Aerial Lift Bridge rising to let them by.

## Great for

  • Sunrises over Lake Superior
  • Sailboat races and summer beach days
  • Ship viewing as vessels enter and leave the harbour
  • Storm watching when big waves crash against the piers

The shipping season runs roughly from late March to January, when the Soo Locks close for winter. Autumn gales are legendary on Superior, so stormy days can be dramatic. The stream is provided by Duluth Harbor Cam.
