Virtual Zoom backgrounds

As most of us continue to work from home, Zoom meetings and video calls have often become integral to our 9-5. While you can't be here right now, we've gathered a few downloadable images from Watergate Bay to breathe some sea air into your working day. Apply them to your next Zoom call, add to your home screen or print them out.

Summer daze

At low tide, the beach opens up to reveal two miles of sand. Ideal for beach rambling, exploring and with plenty of space to find a little slice of seclusion.
