This live camera looks out over Dunster Beach on the Somerset coast in south-west England. It is useful if you want to see how the shore and tide look before travelling, or simply to watch the Bristol Channel from home. The page adds local time and weather so you can judge conditions at a glance.
Dunster is a small village in Somerset, known mainly for its medieval castle and its historic High Street, and it sits a short distance inland from the Bristol Channel. The coastline here is shaped by wide sands and some of the largest tidal ranges in the world, so the shoreline can look very different within a few hours. The landscape around the Quantock and Exmoor hills adds a green, open character to the area.
The camera is a beach view, so the most rewarding moments are usually around low and high tide, when the water edge moves across the sand. Clear days give the best visibility over the channel, while grey or misty weather can soften the horizon. Early morning and late afternoon light tends to bring out the colours of the sand and the hills behind.
The climate is mild and damp, with cooler, wetter winters and generally pleasant summers, so late spring and summer are the most popular months for a visit. Check a tide table before walking on the sand, as the tide comes in quickly and far. Nearby, you can compare the coast at Watchet, Porlock Weir and Barry using the cameras listed on this page.
