Virtual Beach – Santa Monica Beach Cam and Zoom Backgrounds

While we all practice social distancing to stay safe, it doesn’t mean we can’t all experience a beach day, virtually.

Watch sunsets and the Santa Monica Pier from the comfort of your living room with the live Santa Monica Beach Cam. Count seagulls, watch sunset in real time and listen to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean crash against our sand for a little indoor zen.

Add a taste of our beach lifestyle to your next video call with our gallery of images that will make for the perfect Zoom background. Feel the peace of the ocean or soak up the colors of Santa Monica street art.

• Santa Monica Pier Aerial
• Santa Monica Pier Sign
• Street Art – Corner of Love by Ruben Rojas
• Street Art Inspire – Inspire by Marcel “SEL” Blanco

1. Chose your preferred image from our gallery below and save to your computer or device.
