Live Webcams in Martha's Vineyard

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, is the island off Cape Cod that fills up every summer and empties again in September, and its live webcams show the slow version of the place: not the ferry queue but a meadow on a working farm in Oak Bluffs, where a herd of alpacas grazes, stares and hums. Farm pastures and barns are the scene, with the animals brought in around four in the afternoon, and the harbours beyond. The island keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer; the herd is out from morning until mid-afternoon local, which is a European afternoon and evening, and spring brings the crias, the alpaca young. The ferry from Woods Hole takes about 45 minutes, and Oak Bluffs behind the farm keeps some 300 gingerbread cottages around its Methodist campground. Late spring and early autumn show the island without the crowds.
