Beach Views, Sea Watch Resort, Myrtle Beach

This camera looks out from the Sea Watch Resort in Myrtle Beach, taking in the beach, the surf line and the sky along the Grand Strand. It is run by Vacation Myrtle Beach, so the feed is tied to the resort rather than to a public road or pier. Use it to check conditions before you walk down: whether the wind is up, how far the tide has come in, and whether the water is calm enough for a swim. Summer mornings are the clearest read, with the beach mostly empty and the sun coming up over the ocean. In the off-season it is just as useful for a quick look at the weather before you commit to a drive. If you are browsing beach cams in the United States, this one covers the northern stretch of Myrtle Beach.
