Live Web Cam at Shore Acres -
The picture above is a snapshot taken by our live Web Cam west of Shore Acres Gardens. The web camera pans from Northeast to Southeast taking snapshots and sending them to our web server where they are transferred to the web site. The buildings (left to right) are the Information & Gift Center, the Garden House and the Pavilion. We are limited to still photos (rather than video) due to the limitations of our satellite access. However, you do see the most current conditions at the gardens as each new snapshot replaces the previous one. If you are looking at night, the box will be black until holiday lights time (Thanksgiving thru New Year’s Eve).

The camera takes a picture about once a minute. To get another view, click your “refresh” function. If you get a small box with a red x, try again. Sometimes it takes several clicks to see the change. Or leave the site and reopen it. The technology is not perfect, but it is one way to give you a unique view of the gardens. Thanks for visiting. NOTE: At times we experience technical difficulties, so if you can’t get the picture, please visit another time.
