Beach Cams

Beach cams are the easiest way to see the weather and the crowds by the sea with your own eyes. This category features live views from famous shorelines such as Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Levante Beach in Benidorm and Miami Beach, plus coastal spots in Turkey like the Salacak waterfront on the Bosphorus in Istanbul. You can follow wave height, how busy the sand is and the colour of the water as it changes through the day.

People open these cams to check sea and weather conditions before heading out, to look at the surf, or simply to enjoy a sunset at the end of the day. The images come from municipalities, hotels and local broadcasters, so streams may pause at night, in bad weather or during maintenance. Before packing your beach bag, check the live weather, wind and temperature on the camera page.
