Live Cozumel beach cam & seaweed check
Watch Cozumel in real time, then cross-check today’s rating below. Cams are the fastest way to see actual sand conditions before you commit to a beach day.
What to look for on the cam
- Brown lines at the waterline — fresh sargassum landing. Worse after onshore wind.
- Water colour — turquoise is clear; murky brown-green near shore means seaweed offshore.
- Time of day — check mornings. Crews often clear resort beaches by mid-morning, but new mats can arrive by afternoon.
- Empty vs busy sand — raked, groomed sand with sunbeds usually means an actively maintained (cleaner) beach.

Presidente InterContinental Cozumel Resort & Spa
Flagship luxury resort on half a mile of sheltered leeward sand a short drive south of San Miguel. Its west-facing beach is one of the most reliably seaweed-free hotel shores in Quintana Roo, and it hosts a live webcam so you can check for yourself.
Check availability ↗Cozumel Palace
Upscale all-inclusive on the calm west coast just south of downtown. It fronts rocky ledges and a small beach with direct snorkel access, positions that rarely collect sargassum on the island's lee side.
Check availability ↗The Westin Cozumel
Modern resort on the quiet northern stretch of the leeward shore with a small beach and infinity pools. The west-facing position keeps drift seaweed rare, and staff clear what little arrives.
Check availability ↗Playa Azul Beach Hotel
Small family-run beachfront hotel on a sandy leeward cove north of town, popular with divers. Its west orientation means the beach typically stays clear through summer with light daily raking.
