Ah008 Archives to be at the beach. The sun, kissing your face. The waves, crashing, lulling you into a mid-afternoon nap. The salt-water breeze, filling your lungs as you inhale fresh, clean, ocean air. Your only obligation? Reaching over the hammock for that ice-cold drink nestled in the sand.

Man, that sure sounds pretty nice right about now. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has large swaths of the world's population sheltering in place for the foreseeable future, and as such simple pleasures like a vacation day at the beach have become unobtainable fantasies. But hey, that doesn't mean you can't crack a cold one and pretend — and the below live beach cams from around the globe are here to help you do just that.
