About Beaver Island
Michigan's Most Remote
Inhabited Island
Beaver Island sits 32 miles off the coast of Charlevoix in northern Lake Michigan — the largest island in the lake and one of the most unspoiled communities in the Great Lakes. Known as the "Emerald Isle" for its Irish heritage and lush forests, it's a place where time slows down.
This live camera looks out over Paradise Bay and St. James Harbor from Powers' Hardware on Main Street — the heart of island life since 1998.
