High-resolution cameras streaming 24 hours a day from the Itaipuaçu beachfront, a seaside district of Maricá in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, Brazil. The stream alternates views of the beach, the sea, the seafront avenue with its cycle lane and the mountains around the bay. It is a handy way to check the sea and the weather before heading to the beach. Itaipuaçu lies between Niterói and central Maricá and is known for its long open-ocean beach. On rough days, sea spray can make the image less sharp.
