Ah,Poland 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.
So grab one from your fridge, crank up those ocean sounds, lean back in your favorite chair, and press play on one of the below livestreams. You'll be feeling the sand between your toes in no time at all.
There, wasn't that nice? Feel free to take another drink from the refrigerator and settle in a little while longer — we're right there with you.
