During a hurricane, live beach cams let you safely see the winds and waves.

Many Myrtle Beach area resorts and restaurants live stream their views. For most of the year, these web cams show tranquil beach scenes for visitors longing for the ocean.

When a storm hits, they turn into valuable tools for locals and tourists alike to witness the effects of the hurricane in real time.

The 2023 hurricane season started on June 1 in South Carolina, though storms aren’t likely to hit the Grand Strand until the fall months.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation has live traffic cameras throughout the area to help track road conditions.

After you identify local emergency contacts and see if your area is likely to flood, check out these 23 beach cams to watch a hurricane.
