Port of San Diego webcams

Vantage

A camera at Tom Ham's Lighthouse on Harbor Island, across the water from the cruise berths. The publisher says it "usually faces the east, towards Downtown San Diego."

What it shows

San Diego Bay and the downtown waterfront from across the water, with harbor traffic moving through the frame, in a continuous 4K YouTube broadcast.

This one is steerable, and that changes what you can promise someone. The publisher lists named presets for "Cruise ship terminal" and "Broadway PIer", so the camera does reach the berths — but paying members re-aim it by chat command, so it may be pointed at the Midway, the Maritime Museum or downtown when you open it. Treat it as a bay camera that can be pointed at the cruise berths, not as a camera trained on your ship, and expect no view of boarding or the gangway.

Vantage

A second camera on the same Tom Ham's Lighthouse rooftop, which the publisher says "faces the south, towards the harbor entrance."

What it shows

The harbor entrance every ship crosses between San Diego Bay and the Pacific, in a continuous 4K YouTube broadcast. The audio is the North Island tower feed.

This is an approach view. Every cruise ship leaving San Diego passes the harbor entrance, but this camera looks away from the B Street Pier and cannot show the berth or boarding. It is steerable by the publisher's members too, so its aim at any moment is not guaranteed.
