Galveston Historic Downtown Webcam

This panoramic rotating webcam is installed on the roof of Yaga’s Cafe and overlooks Galveston’s famous historic district — The Strand. The camera offers several interesting angles, allowing viewers to explore key locations of the city center.
In its initial position, the camera faces east, showing The Strand street and its intersection with 23rd Street. To the right stands the Old Galveston Square business center, while the American National Insurance Company Building rises in the background as a prominent architectural landmark.
The camera then rotates southwest, revealing the intersection of The Strand and 24th Street, the La Rumba shop, and the impressive Shearn Moody Plaza in the distance. This complex is home to the Galveston Railroad Museum, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and other important institutions.
Next, the view turns northeast, showing the popular Saengerfest Park, easily recognized by its distinctive checkered pattern in the center. During the holiday season, a Christmas tree is installed here, adding a festive touch to the historic district.
To conclude, the camera lifts its view toward the cruise port, where liners at the Carnival Cruise Terminal can be seen, highlighting Galveston’s role as a major tourist destination.
