Hosted by the Panama Canal Authority, webcams are available from multiple locations throughout the canal including the Miraflores Locks, Gatun Locks, Centennial Bridge and overlooking the canal expansion program.

You can watch as ships of all types are lifted or lowered through the locks in real time. It is always fun to see enormous cruise ships or container ships sailing through the canal.

The webcam is available at the following links: Panama Canal Webcam. Centennial Bridge, Gatun Locks, Miraflores Locks, Panama Canal, Panama Canal Authority, Webcam.

If it's ships your interested in - many of the cruise lines also have webcams on board which are accessible via the cruise lines web-site.

One word of warning - the webcams do appear to "go down" on a pretty frequent basis so don't be disappointed if you cannot bring up the webcam first time around, try it again a from time to time.
