Whether you favor the mountains or the coast, you’ll likely admit that you love spending time in both places in North Carolina. And while a sunrise viewed over the layers of mountains in western North Carolina is breathtaking, a beach sunrise adds a soundtrack like no other, plus shimmering reflections of vivid hues on both the water and the sky. If you’re missing your happy place along the North Carolina coast right about now, then set your clock tomorrow (or the next day, or every day) and get up to watch the sunrise over the ocean with one of these live streaming beach cams in North Carolina.

Jennettes Pier
