Prepare your 2026 trip to Nice (Alpes-Maritimes, 06 department) by checking live webcams from the coast before you pack your bags.
What's new for Nice webcams in 2026
2026 opens on the back of a record year for French tourism: the country welcomed 102 million international visitors in 2025, generating EUR77.5 billion in tourism revenue (up 9% year over year), according to Atout France. Nice Côte d'Azur airport rode that wave too, handling 15.23 million passengers in 2025 (+3.2%), with long-haul traffic up 5.8% thanks to new nonstop routes to Washington and Dakar.
None of that traffic data comes from a webcam, but it explains why the coast fills up fast in high season, and why a 30-second check of a live feed before you drive in is worth it. The Nice tourist office (explorenicecotedazur.com) currently runs seven official cameras across the city: Vieux Nice, the Promenade des Anglais, Nice's beaches, the port, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cros-de-Cagnes and the airport. Third-party sites such as SkylineWebcams, WebcamTaxi and Windy also carry Promenade des Anglais feeds, handy as a backup if one of the embeds below is slow to load, though they aren't run by the city and can occasionally show a static image instead of a live stream.
As with anything weather- or traffic-dependent, treat the feeds below as a snapshot, not a forecast, and confirm opening hours or closures on the official sites before you leave.

Promenade des anglais in Nice ()
Promenade des Anglais runs for about 7 km along the Baie des Anges (some sources round it up to 8 km, depending on where the measurement starts). It has carried that name since 1820, when Reverend Lewis Way and the Holy Trinity Anglican congregation funded the original seafront path, first nicknamed the "Camin deis Anglés" in the local Niçard dialect.
