Downtown Singapore Coastal View Live Camera

This live camera shows a coastal view of downtown Singapore, where the gleaming towers of the city-state meet the sea.

Singapore is one of the world's great trading hubs, a tiny island nation at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula that grew from a British trading post founded in 1819 into a modern global city. Its waterfront around Marina Bay has become one of the most recognizable skylines in Asia, with landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, with its rooftop SkyPark, the lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum, the Merlion statue and the futuristic Gardens by the Bay.

Offshore, the Singapore Strait is one of the busiest shipping lanes on Earth, and dozens of container ships and tankers can often be seen anchored or passing by. The port of Singapore is among the busiest in the world.

Singapore is hot and humid all year, close to the equator, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms, especially during the monsoon seasons. Sunsets over the water can be spectacular, and at night the skyline glows with lights, including the regular light and water shows at Marina Bay.

Singapore runs eight hours ahead of UTC.
