Coastal Carolina happens to be one of the areas of the east coast that has a large number of live beach webcams. If you are looking to check the conditions at the beach before you go, live surf webcams make that easy.
I love to watch the cams at Wrightsville Beach to see the surf report for myself before I invest time and money driving to the beach, parking and suiting up. Today’s live streaming technology and the websites dedicated to live cams turn every screen into an ocean front view.
On the days that I’m stuck at the desk all day trying to meet deadlines, I tune in to the beach cameras so I can feel like I’m right there.
Here’s my list of the top live beach and surf webcams in Wilmington, North Carolina.
