Feeling hot and frazzled? Want to know what's happening at your favourite beach? There’s a webcam just for you.
Here's some of Perth's best and most popular beachside destinations. Most of them have a live feed.
Cottesloe. one of my favourite beaches ever. This cam scans from the beach in front of the Indiana Teahouse back down towards Fremantle. Watch everything from swimmers to cargo ships from your desk.
City Beach. This one’s at the City Beach Surf Life Saving Club. It’s a fixed camera that takes a still shot about once every second.
Scarborough. Complete with a surf report. This camera is a live feed. Watch people surfing while you work.
Hillarys Boat Harbour. Captured from a web cam located on the Harbour Manager's office. It has a North Westerly field of view and updates automatically every minute.
Trigg. Located on the tower at the Trigg Surf Life Saving Club. Updated every minute.
Trigg South. From the same location as the Trigg Point cam but facing South West.
Swanbourne. This cam faces South West back down towards Cottesloe. There’s a live stream cam here.
Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. The view from the top of Marine House, Essex Street, Fremantle.
Sorrento. Live stream. Beautiful part of the world.
If you want to dodge the traffic check out these webcams before heading off. There are lots to choose from courtesy of Main Roads WA. Each is refreshed every 15 minutes.
Here are a few of Perth’s traffic hotspots.
Kwinana Freeway near the Mount Henry Bridge. This is a real bottleneck so it’s worth watching.
Mitchell Freeway near Karrinyup Road. If you’re ever going to get stuck in traffic it’s here.
Corner of Barrack Street and Riverside Drive. Check this just before home time. It’s one of the keys to escaping the City quickly.
Mitchell Freeway near the James Street off ramp. If this looks scary consider exiting the Freeway at Grantham.
Don't forget, if you find a cool webcam leave a comment with the web address. We'll add it in.
