About Port Aransas Harbor
Facing the other way from the same basin, this angle takes in the docks and the shrimp boats — tall outriggers, working hulls, nets hung to dry. The shrimp fleet isn't scenery in Port Aransas; it's an industry that shares the harbor with the charter boats, and the free car ferry crosses the ship channel a short way off, so there is nearly always something moving on the water. Paired with the west camera, this one fills in the part of the harbor the other can't see. Weather reads here in the rigging and in the chop inside the basin.
What this camera is good for
- Shrimp boat and general harbor traffic
- The half of the basin the west camera misses
- Rain and visibility over the waterfront
- Whether boats are tied up or working

Common questions
- Is the Port Aransas Harbor 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 Port Aransas today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Port Aransas are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Port Aransas. 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.
