Murdoch's Cam Live – Galveston Seawall, Texas

Murdoch's is one of the most recognisable landmarks on the Galveston Seawall, a gift shop and deck perched on pilings over the beach, with a history stretching back more than a century and several rebuilds after hurricanes. This camera looks out from there over the Gulf of Mexico.

The seawall itself is a monument to Galveston's resilience. Built after the catastrophic hurricane of 1900, it protects the city from storm surge and supports Seawall Boulevard, a scenic drive lined with hotels, restaurants and attractions such as the Pleasure Pier.

Watch for

• Surf rolling in along the beach
• Families, fishermen and surfers in summer
• Ships waiting offshore for the Port of Galveston and Houston

Summer weekends bring crowds from Houston, while winter is quieter. During tropical storms, the camera becomes a valuable window onto coastal conditions. Viewers can join the live webcam chat, shared across all the channel's cams. The stream is provided by Galveston TV.
