Can't make it to the beach Memorial Day weekend? Beach cameras bring sandy fun to you

Can’t make it to the Delaware beaches for Memorial Day weekend? Worried you’re missing out on all the fun?

Don’t worry, there’s a way to bring the joy of people watching to the comfort of your own home.

Southern Delaware Tourism maintains a list of online live cameras available in the area, so you can tune into the shorebirds a flutter along the Delaware Bay or the Boardwalk cruisers from the comfort of your own couch.

"It’s such a great tool to be able to help visually relay what a great scene it is here along the coastline," said Scott Thomas, executive director at Southern Delaware Tourism. 

So get comfy, sit back and enjoy the sights without dealing with traffic, crowds or the hassle of leaving your house.

Here are links to all live cam options, including six views of the boardwalk in Bethany Beach, a view across the sand at Dewey Beach, action at the inlets and more.

How about a stroll along the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk?

And for the wildlife lovers out there, there’s the Dupont Nature Center Cam that looks out on the Mispillion Harbor along the Delaware Bay:
