San Carlos Marina and Red Hills

A Working Marina on the Sea of Cortez

This live webcam overlooks the marina at San Carlos, a busy harbor on the Sea of Cortez where hundreds of sleek yachts, sailboats, and fishing vessels line the floating docks. The calm waters of the protected bay make it one of the premier boating destinations on Mexico's northwest coast.

The Red Hills of Tetakawi

Rising dramatically behind the harbor are the red volcanic hills that give San Carlos its distinctive desert-meets-sea scenery. The rugged ridgelines and the iconic twin-peaked Tetakawi formation create a commanding backdrop to the marina below.

A Resort Vantage Point

The camera streams from the Marinaterra Hotel and Spa, framing the resort's poolside terraces in the foreground. Viewers take in the full sweep of turquoise water, hillside homes, and the arid Sonoran landscape that draws sailors and travelers from across the region.
