Why this listing is useful

Multiple official views from Beacon Hill show the harbour entrance, Cook Strait weather, visibility and ship movement. The official source opens in a new tab, while this independently researched profile remains available for comparison and discovery.

Accuracy standard

  • Live video and refreshed still images are labeled separately.
  • Unknown details are labeled rather than guessed.
  • Availability can change without notice.

Observation only: Never use a public webcam as a substitute for official navigation, marine forecasts, warnings or local safety advice.
