About Placida
Placida is the mainland jumping-off point for Boca Grande and Gasparilla Sound, and Gasparilla Marina is the biggest thing in it — a full-service marina on the Coral Creek side with the fuel dock in constant use through tarpon season. The view here is working waterfront rather than beach: boats coming and going, the state of the water in the basin, and the light. For anyone launching to fish Boca Grande Pass, this is the last honest look at conditions before committing.
What this camera is good for
- Marina and boat-ramp activity
- Whether it is calm enough to run the pass
- Fuel dock queues in tarpon season
- Weather moving in over the mainland

Common questions
- Is the Placida camera live?
- Yes, it is a live stream running 24 hours a day. If it looks dark, it is night at the camera.
- Does it cost anything to watch?
- No. Salty Forecast is completely free — no ads, no account, no paid tier, and nothing on this page is behind a sign-up.
- What are the tides at Placida · Gasparilla Sound today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Placida · Gasparilla Sound are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Placida, Gasparilla Sound. Tide state changes what the beach looks like on camera — at low water the beach is at its widest.
- Why does the camera look hazy or dark?
- Live cameras sit outdoors: rain on the lens, salt spray, fog and low light all affect the picture. Night views are lit only by whatever is nearby. If the feed is down entirely, that is the operator's camera rather than this page — the conditions above still update.
