Live beach cams: Riviera Maya, Cancún, Florida, Dominican Republic & the Caribbean
Our map gives a reliable overview of conditions at a given moment, but a live feed is often the fastest and most direct way to read a stretch of coast and judge whether sargassum has arrived.
Tap a thumbnail to open a feed. Most are live video. Some operators publish a refreshing photograph rather than video: those cards are marked Live image, and the picture refreshes on its own once opened — every 30 seconds or every 5 minutes, depending on what the operator publishes. Each card states its own cadence. In all cases the thumbnail is only a preview, so open the card to see the current view. Conditions read most clearly in daylight. If it is night where you are looking, open our interactive map instead to see time-stamped photographs of each beach.
174 live cameras across 49 areas
Cancún
The Hotel Zone is shaped like a seven: the short northern arm faces the sheltered Bahía de Mujeres, the long southern arm faces open Caribbean. The two sides regularly differ on the same morning.
Isla Mujeres
Riviera Maya
Reef-sheltered beaches here have calm water and tend to retain what drifts in, so a camera is more informative than a seasonal average.

Tulum
Cozumel
Bacalar (lagoon)
Fort Lauderdale
Broward beaches are raked daily, so a heavy dawn is often cleared by mid-morning. A camera catches what a photograph taken hours later cannot.
Miami

Florida Keys
The Keys sit behind a reef line and take far less swell than the Atlantic coast, which changes how weed behaves once it arrives.

Some operators serve a refreshing photograph instead of video, and a few do not permit embedding at all. Those cards are labelled Live image or link out to the operator's own page.
Cameras are operated by the hotels, resorts and municipalities named on each card, not by Sargazo Watch. Feeds occasionally go offline when an owner ends or replaces a stream; we monitor for that and remove dead cameras.
To see a camera alongside dated visitor photographs and a daily condition score for the same beach, open it on the live map.
