Due to the crisis of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world, many governments and local authorities have ordered lockdowns and for people to stay at home. In a number of countries people are currently only allowed to go out to the supermarket, pharmacy, an exercise or to walk a dog. With actual travel being out of reach for the moment we have other ways to enjoy our favourite travel destinations – virtually.

Here’s a selection of 9 beach destinations with live beach cams:

Let’s go to Thailand!

Lamai Beach is the second-largest resort area after Chaweng on Koh Samui island in Thailand. Lamai is more laid back than Chaweng and is a little bit cheaper.

Koh Samui island is the second largest island in Thailand.

Let’s go to Hawaii!

Banzai Pipeline is the ultimate surf wave located off of the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii.

The pipe is the world’s infamous surf break, also dubbed the 'World's Deadliest Wave' for sending athletes to their hospital beds and even to their deaths.
