Departure Bay LIVE

🌊 Who’s watching the Departure Bay live cam?

We started this free community webcam so people could check real-time ocean, ferry, seaplane, and weather conditions here in Nanaimo.

We’d love to know who uses it!

Are you checking before catching a ferry, heading out on the water, flying, commuting, planning your day, or just enjoying the view?

If you’re a local business, marine operator, tourism provider, pilot, or organization that finds this camera useful, say hello 👋

Keeping a reliable live camera running does come with ongoing costs, and we’d love to explore community partnerships to help keep this view available for everyone.

Comment below and tell us where you’re watching from 🌊
