What you can see on the L'Ametlla de Mar webcams
The beach camera looks out from high above the town over Platja de l'Alguer, a small sandy bay protected by two stone breakwaters, with the promenade and its palms below and the coast running off towards a long line of hills. The harbour camera looks over the fishing port, with trawlers tied up along the quays, the marina behind them and the long harbour wall on the left. Both are live video, so you can watch the boats come and go. The third camera is a still photo across the harbour to the white houses of the town.
L'Ametlla de Mar beach webcam: Platja de l'Alguer
Streamed live by the town's tourist office, this camera looks north-east from high above L'Ametlla de Mar. Below it, a palm-lined square and promenade lead down to Platja de l'Alguer, a small curve of golden sand sheltered by two rocky breakwaters. Apartment blocks and hotels climb the slope on the left, the coast runs on towards a low headland, and a long ridge of mountains closes the view inland.
The water in the bay is often clear enough to see the sandy bottom, and the open sea to the right shows at a glance whether it is flat or ruffled by wind. Being live, it also shows whether anyone is already swimming between the breakwaters. The morning sun falls on the sea to the right.
L'Ametlla de Mar harbour webcam: the fishing port
The tourist office's second live stream looks south-west over the harbour of L'Ametlla de Mar. On the left the long harbour wall, piled with rocks on its seaward side, shelters a quay where trawlers and lorries load and unload; in the centre and on the right, motor boats, a sailing yacht and a large motor cruiser sit in the inner basin, with the pontoons of the marina beyond. Past the harbour, a wooded headland runs out into the sea and a solitary mountain rises on the horizon.
This is the working heart of the town, home to the Catalan tuna fleet. Watch it in the afternoon, when the fishing boats come back in and the quays get busy.
L'Ametlla de Mar across the harbour to the town
This 3Cat weather camera looks across the harbour basin with the town as its backdrop. On the left rise the white and ochre houses of L'Ametlla, with the bell tower of the church standing out and a row of palms along the quay; in front of them, fishing boats and a travel lift sit on the hard standing. The water of the basin fills the centre, dotted with moored boats, and on the right the outer breakwater leads off with the open sea beyond.
It complements the live harbour stream with a wider view of the waterfront and the sea outside the wall. The still photo is shown with the latest temperature, wind and humidity.
Home of Catalonia's tuna fleet
Locals still call the town la Cala, "the cove". Fishing has always been its living: the port is home to the main fleet of tuna boats in Catalonia, along with trawlers and smaller boats, and the catch is auctioned at the fishermen's cooperative every afternoon. Restaurants around the harbour are the place to try it, from red tuna to rice dishes and galeres, a local shellfish, and boat trips run out to the tuna farms offshore.
When to watch L'Ametlla de Mar
L'Ametlla is one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland. The beach camera faces the morning sun across the sea, so early images are bright and sparkling; the harbour is at its liveliest in the afternoon, when the fishing boats return. The water here is often very clear, thanks to the seagrass meadows offshore.
Around L'Ametlla de Mar
The GR 92 coastal path follows the whole shoreline, linking dozens of coves and beaches, many of them inside protected natural areas to the south of the town. A little further south, at L'Ampolla, begins the Ebro Delta, with its rice fields, lagoons and flocks of flamingos.
Visiting L'Ametlla de Mar
The town has a station on the line between Barcelona and Valencia, and the AP-7 motorway passes just inland. Three of its beaches, Cala Forn, L'Alguer and Sant Jordi d'Alfama, hold a Blue Flag for 2026. The coastal path is the easiest way to explore the smaller coves, so pack walking shoes as well as a towel.
