St Ives Harbour Live Cam – Cornwall, England

About this camera

Watch live from St Ives Harbour in Cornwall, England, with this stream from Ozolio Plus. It offers stunning views of the historic harbour, golden sandy beaches, fishing boats, turquoise water and the timeless charm of one of the UK's most picturesque seaside towns.

St Ives grew as a pilchard fishing port, and its harbour, protected by Smeaton's Pier, built in the 1770s by the engineer John Smeaton, is still used by local fishing boats. The town's extraordinary light attracted artists from the late 19th century onwards, including Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, and today Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum celebrate that legacy.

## What to watch for

  • Boats resting on the sand at low tide
  • Fishing boats and pleasure trips
  • Beachgoers and turquoise water

At low tide, the harbour empties and boats sit on the sand, then float again as the tide returns. Porthminster and Porthmeor beaches are among Cornwall's finest, the latter popular with surfers. Summer brings crowds, while winter storms can send waves over the harbour walls. The stream is provided by Ozolio Plus.
