What you can see on the Sandy Ground cam
The camera is at Elvis' Beach Bar, one of the best-known bars on the island. It looks over the bar's picnic tables, hammocks and bright striped umbrellas on the sand to the calm water of Road Bay, where small boats and yachts lie at anchor, with the low headland across the bay.
Elvis' Beach Bar on Sandy Ground
From the porch of Elvis' Beach Bar, this camera looks across the bar's tables and colourful umbrellas on the sand of Sandy Ground to the calm water of Road Bay. Small boats and yachts lie at anchor in the bay, and the low headland across the water closes the view.
It is the cam for the mood on the beach, from a quiet morning to a busy evening. Caribbean Webcams streams it on YouTube.
Road Bay and the salt pond
Road Bay is where cargo boats and visiting yachts come in, and where the island's beach bars gather in a row along the sand. Behind them lies the salt pond that was once worked for export, one of the reasons the village grew here. On many evenings live music drifts across the bay from the bars.
When to watch Sandy Ground
The bay faces west, so sunsets go down over the water in front of the beach bars, and the evening is the busiest time on the sand.
Nearby
Boats run from Road Bay to Sandy Island and Prickly Pear Cays, small islets off the coast. Meads Bay and Shoal Bay, two of the island's most famous beaches, are a short drive away.
Getting there
Ferries from St Martin arrive at Blowing Point, on the south coast, about 15 minutes away by car. Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport is near The Valley, the capital.
