Live Webcams in Willemstad

Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean, is a working port dressed as a postcard, and the live webcams in Willemstad show both faces of it: the painted merchant houses of the Handelskade along St. Anna Bay, with tankers and cruise ships sliding past the pontoon bridge, and a man-made beach behind a breakwater a few kilometres down the coast, where the water sits in bands of blue. Willemstad keeps Atlantic Standard Time, UTC−4, with no daylight saving, so the harbour is busiest from 12:00 UTC and the facades glow in a sunset around 22:30 UTC. The historic waterfront has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1997, and the floating Queen Emma bridge that swings open for shipping dates from 1888. Locals call the island Kòrsou. February to June is the driest stretch; it sits outside the hurricane belt, so the beach runs all year.
