River Medina Ferry Cam, East Cowes

The River Medina Crossing

This live webcam overlooks the River Medina as it widens toward the Solent, framing the Red Funnel car ferry on its steady crossing between East Cowes and the mainland port of Southampton. The broad tidal estuary forms one of the busiest maritime gateways to the Isle of Wight.

A Town of Sailing

Across the water rises Cowes, the world-renowned yachting capital whose waterfront has hosted Cowes Week regattas for generations. Sleek sailing yachts, motor cruisers and working vessels share the channel beneath the chain ferry and floating bridge.

Maritime East Cowes

The East Cowes shoreline blends active boatyards, marine industry and the Red Funnel terminal, a working harbour set against the rolling green hills of the Isle of Wight.
