The Lower Merrimack River

This live webcam overlooks the Merrimack River as it widens toward the Atlantic at Newburyport, one of New England's most storied maritime towns. Salt marshes and open tidal waters stretch toward the far shore, where the river broadens on its final run to the sea.

The Harbor and Marina

In the foreground, a busy working marina lines the riverbank, with sailboats, motor cruisers, and small craft moored along the docks. The scene captures the everyday rhythm of a classic American boating harbor at the river's edge.
