Casa Toucan live cam

Casa Toucan is a small, adults-only beachfront property in Puerto Morelos, the fishing village between Cancún and Playa del Carmen. It rents four suites rather than rooms in the usual hotel sense, each with its own kitchen and outdoor space. Just offshore runs the long barrier reef of this coast, protected off the village as the Puerto Morelos Reef National Park. The reef breaks the swell, so the water between it and the beach is usually calm.

The hotel shows its webcams on its own website. The one on this site looks over the village beach, where the fishing boats anchor in the sheltered water inside the reef. Another camera in Puerto Morelos, south of the village, belongs to a large resort, so together they show both the town beach and the resort coast a little further down.

The camera is published through Angelcam, a cloud video service for IP cameras, and plays here in its public player, the same image the hotel offers its own guests.

A camera kept by a small hotel is a modest setup, with no broadcaster or camera network behind it. It can freeze or go offline when the hotel's connection fails, and the lens can mist over on humid mornings until the sun warms it. What it shows in return is an everyday village beach, with its boats, its swimmers and the color of the water over the reef.
