There is absolutely nothing better than watching the waves of the Pacific Ocean crash against the sand at any of Hawaii’s beautiful beaches — except maybe doing so during sunset. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, Hawaii’s beach parks are currently closed and all incoming airline passengers are being forced to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. While we’re hunkered down at home, we can still experience Hawaii’s natural beauty from afar via these 8 coastal live streams. Grab a cup of Kona coffee or a locally-made beer, click on one of these epic live streams, and let your mind relax.
