YOUR LITTLE ESCAPE

A calming little dive into kelp forests, sea otters, and ocean life.

There is something wonderfully unhurried about watching an aquarium. Monterey Bay Aquarium’s live camera collection offers a closer look at marine habitats and animals. Check each camera’s hours before settling in.

A few things to look forward to

  • Find a live camera that is currently broadcasting
  • Watch marine animals move through their habitats
  • Learn more with the aquarium’s accompanying resources
Make a moment of it.

Go full screen, put your phone aside, and give yourself permission to wander. A cup of something warm is optional.
