PortMiami & Government Cut live cam

A live camera on PortMiami and the Government Cut channel, where the world's biggest cruise ships sail past Miami Beach.

PortMiami is the busiest cruise port in the world, and every ship that leaves it sails out through Government Cut, a narrow channel between South Beach and Fisher Island. From this camera you can watch giant cruise ships glide past the beach, often just a few hundred meters from the sand.

Weekend afternoons are the busiest, when several ships leave one after another, and the city skyline lights up across Biscayne Bay after dark.

Live streams sometimes pause for maintenance or bad weather. We check every camera regularly and hide those that go offline.
