Stay close to Cornwall, wherever you are, with some of our favourite beachside webcams.
We appreciate that you’re missing Cornwall's amazing beaches, so we’ve handpicked five webcams that allow you to enjoy a sneak peek of some of your favourite locations.

Watergate Bay
Home to many of our contemporary self-catering holiday cottages, you’ll find plenty to watch at Watergate Bay, no matter what the season. See the local surfers catch a morning wave, watch wild swimmers take the plunge, and spot wind surfers and dog walkers in abundance.
This webcam is positioned at The Beach Hut, one of our favourite places to grab a bite to eat as the sun sets.
Whitsand Bay
With its dramatic scenery, craggy cliffs, and long stretch of golden sand, Whitsand Bay, located in South East Cornwall, is home to several of our contemporary coastal cabins. Surfline has set up a Whitsand Bay webcam for locals and surfers alike to check the conditions before heading down the winding paths.
This beautiful stretch of coastline is known as Cornwall’s ‘forgotten corner’ and is bound by the Lynher, Tamar, and Hamoaze rivers, making it ideal for scenic coastal walking.
Fistral Beach
If you miss jumping from bed to board and need a quick surf fix, this Fistral Beach webcam will certainly do the trick. Known as one of Cornwall’s top surfing spots, Fistral is home to countless surf festivals, Rick Stein’s Fistral Bar & Kitchen, The Fish House Fistral, and Fistral Surf School.
Watch the surfers heading in at sunrise or catch a famous Fistral sunset. This large beach is dog-friendly all year round, so you’ll certainly see some wagging tails.
Rock Beach
From bobbing boats and kayakers to stand-up paddleboarders and coastal walkers, Rock in North Cornwall is an exclusive water sports destination, and the webcam gives you plenty of inspiration if you’re missing your Cornish slice of heaven.
The beach offers a long expanse of golden sand at low tide, leading around to Brea Hill and the picturesque Daymer Bay. Watch the world go by and start planning your next adventure at one of our chic holiday cottages in Rock.
Minack Theatre and Porthcurno
Take a peek at West Cornwall and watch the waves crash against the cliffs at the famous, open-air Minack Theatre. The webcam’s backdrop can’t be beaten, with views over Pedn Vounder Beach and the white sand and crystal-clear waters of Porthcurno Beach.
Keep your eyes peeled between May and September, when the venue’s renowned live performances take place.
