Port of Las Palmas
Live Cam
The Port of Las Palmas is one of the busiest harbours in the mid Atlantic, a refuelling and resupply stop that has served ships crossing between Europe, Africa and the Americas for generations. This live camera looks out over the water where ferries, container ships, fishing boats and cruise liners share the same stretch of sheltered sea off Gran Canaria.
Why Las Palmas? Few ports sit at such a natural crossroads. Gran Canaria lies off the northwest coast of Africa, and vessels of every size pause here before long ocean legs. The result is a view that changes hour by hour, from inter island ferries running on schedule to tankers idling at anchor while the Atlantic light shifts across the harbour.
Port of Las Palmas highlights: As you enjoy the live view, be sure to look out for:
- Inter Island Ferries: Fast ferries linking Gran Canaria with Tenerife and the other islands make regular arrivals and departures, often the liveliest moments on the cam.
- Cruise Ship Calls: Large liners appear through the cooler months, dwarfing everything alongside them as they manoeuvre in and later slip back out to sea.
- Atlantic Light: Sunrise and dusk transform the water and the harbour cranes, and passing weather fronts can turn the scene dramatic in minutes.
Beyond the Harbour: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria spreads out behind the port, with the long sweep of Las Canteras beach on the opposite side of the isthmus and the old Vegueta quarter further south. It is a working city as much as a holiday one, and the port is the reason it grew.
Thanks to the operator who keeps this camera pointed at the Port of Las Palmas and shares it freely around the clock. Maintaining a stable stream over a busy commercial harbour takes real effort, and it lets viewers anywhere follow Atlantic shipping in real time.
Tune in to watch the ships come and go from one of the Atlantic's great crossroads, whether you are planning a Canary Islands trip or simply enjoy harbour watching.
