Loco Gringo live cams

Loco Gringo is a vacation rental and travel company on the Riviera Maya, with villas, condos and beach houses in Akumal, Tulum and Playa del Carmen, along with travel information and booking help for the coast. It is run by people who live in the region and, by its own account, has worked on this coast for more than 25 years.

Akumal is at the center of what it does, and the company keeps cameras at both ends of Akumal Bay. The north camera looks through palms to a beach bar, the reef line and the boats at their moorings. The south camera covers the main beach, the boats and the shallow water inside the reef. This is the bay where green sea turtles come in to graze on the seagrass, a short swim from the beach.

Both cameras are shown on the company's own webcam page and streamed through ipcamlive, a cloud service that relays IP cameras to the web. They play here in ipcamlive's public players, the same ones the company uses, with Loco Gringo credited beside them.

Because both views come from the same owner and the same page, it is easy to confirm whose they are and where they stand. They are still small cameras on a humid, salty coast: either one can drop out for a while, or mist over on a damp morning, and the company decides where they point.
