Watch the coast live, right now. WeatherCameras.LIVE streams cameras from the South Carolina Grand Strand and Florida's Gulf coast, 24 hours a day. No account, no signup — open the app and you're looking at the ocean. WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING • Pier 14 — Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Mounted on the pier itself, out over the Atlantic, with nothing between the lens and open water. • Dock Holidays Marina — North Myrtle Beach. A protected-water view for when you need to know what the harbor is doing. • Salinity — Cedar Key, Florida. Dock Street on the Nature Coast, one of the most surge-exposed stretches of the Gulf. CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE Every camera carries live data from NOAA and Open-Meteo: • Water temperature • Next high and low tide • Sunrise and sunset • Air temperature, wind speed and sky conditions • Live viewer count and real-time stream status REGIONAL WIND MAP A full Eastern U.S. and Atlantic wind map, so you can see a system before it reaches the sand. BUILT FOR STORM SEASON These aren't decorative beach cams. Our cameras have streamed through Florence, Michael, Dorian, Ian, Idalia and Helene. Each camera includes a written history of the storms watched from that exact vantage point — what came ashore, when, and what it did. The Cedar Key camera has its own story. It lived at 83 West on Dock Street until Helene's surge took the building in September 2024. It came back at Salinity, up the street, looking out over the same water. FEATURES • Picture-in-Picture — keep the ocean on screen while you use other apps • Full-screen playback • Live stream health, so you always know whether a feed is up • Fast native video — no browser, no buffering wall Free to use. No account required. Camera feeds are proprietary content owned by WeatherCameras.LIVE. Broadcast and news use requires licensing — details on the support page.
