Bay of Saint-Jean. Gustavia webcams

Live webcam broadcasts a magnificent view of the Bay of Saint-Jean in the city of Gustavia, which is located on the island of Saint-Barthélemy.

In real time, you can see the northeast coast in all its glory: a sandy beach, a bay with sailboats and yachts, as well as rocks shrouded in green trees.

The Bay of Saint-Jean, whose webcams can be seen on the site, washes the shores of the beautiful city of Gustavia. It is named after the Swedish king Gustav III.

In 1785, France ceded part of its territories in exchange for the right to trade in the Göterborg region. Almost 100 years later, the city and the island of Saint Barthelemy as a whole came back into the possession of France. The architecture here reminds of the Swedish past - charming white houses with red roofs.
During the colonial wars, the city became the center of trade and supply for various warring parties. Here they could sell their goods and resupply their ships. This harbor was surrounded by overcrowded warehouses with food, belongings and other goods.
Today, there are numerous villas, restaurants, boutiques, and in the bay you can watch the snow-white yachts.

Gustavia's webcams allow you to enjoy this romantic place in real time.

Since the city is located in a convenient bay, it is quite a popular destination for ships and yachts who come here from all over the world. Especially many tourists come to the island at Christmas and New Years. It is not uncommon to meet a Hollywood celebrity here. A curious fact - the well-known Rockefeller acquired housing near Gustavia, followed by other billionaires. As a result, the city has become a center of attraction for the world's wealthy and famous.
The climate is arid, but there is practically no sweltering heat here. The average temperature in July is 29 ° С, and in January - 26 ° С. Winds blowing from the sea soften the weather. The island is often hit by strong hurricanes, and the rainy season usually lasts from May to November.
To get acquainted with the historical past of the city, you can climb the ruins of the fort, which was built by the Swedes in 1787. Almost all buildings can be seen here in their original form.

The main attraction of Gustavia, whose webcams in real time broadcast a magnificent view of the bay, is the Anglican Church with a wooden bell tower.

Also in the same houses with a red tile roof, the Museum of Culture and History of Saint Barthélemy and the city library are located. In addition, there are many art galleries, which exhibit not only world-renowned artists, but also local young talents.
