Live Webcams in Newburyport

Newburyport, Massachusetts, is a Federal-era seaport at the mouth of the Merrimack, thirty-five miles up the coast from Boston, and the live webcams in Newburyport show its brick heart: a square rebuilt after the fire of 1811 and never modernised since. The downtown square is the obvious subject, with its cafe tables, the shopfronts of the side streets, and the river running to the sea a block behind them. The city keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, which puts a European evening at a Newburyport lunchtime, and the square is at its liveliest on a summer weekend afternoon, around nine at night in London. Plum Island, the eleven-mile barrier beach just across the river, is where the birders go, and where the town's winters arrive from. October brings the foliage; December brings the lights to the square.
