Have a glimpse of life along the Laguna Madre Bay at Port Isabel. A popular fishing area, our BayCam can be helpful in checking water clarity and general conditions of the bay. The webcam is also providing real-time weather information 24 hours a day. It is networked to an external weather station mounted alongside the camera housing. During night time operation, the camera produces noise which is visible as specks on the screen. Unfortunately, those aren't stars.

Photo Gallery

Every year, around mid October, the streets fill with motorcycles and the air flows with the sound of Harley's. All types of bikes flock to this annual gathering but none stand out as much as the spectacular Harley Davidson and custom choppers. After two days of fun and activities, the rumbling weekend closes with a motorcycle parade through town and over the Queen Isabella Causeway.
