Watching Santa Cruz: the beaches behind the cams
2 live cameras on the Monterey Bay, streamed by their owners and free to watch.
Santa Cruz sits on Monterey Bay south of San Jose, with the historic Beach Boardwalk, the 19th-century Santa Cruz Wharf and consistent surf breaks that draw local surfers year-round. It is a working fishing port and harbor town with a lively waterfront. Two U.S. Geological Survey coastal research cameras watch Main Beach and Cowell Beach, documenting the bay and town waterfront.
The cameras
- Santa Cruz Main Beach & Wharf (USGS CoastCam) — streamed by U.S. Geological Survey (Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center)
- Cowell Beach (USGS CoastCam) — streamed by U.S. Geological Survey (Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center)
