RNLI Live Camera at Porthcawl Pier

The camera looks out from Porthcawl Pier, covering the harbour entrance and the water off the South Wales coast. It is the RNLI's own view of the pier, run through PC1 Limited, and it shows the kind of scene that matters to anyone watching this stretch of Bristol Channel: tide against the pier legs, small craft coming and going, and the sea state off the breakwater. Check it when a swell is running, when the lifeboat is out on a shout, or at high water when the channel through the harbour narrows. It also works as a plain weather check before a walk along the seafront. As one of the Ports and marinas cams United Kingdom viewers return to, the RNLI Live Camera at Porthcawl Pier webcam is busiest on rough days and summer weekends.
