About this camera

A Gulf-front camera on the Florida side of the line, run by ENCO Electronic Systems, looking out over the Perdido Key sand and the open Gulf. It's a good second angle when you want to check the water color, how the surf is stacking up, or how crowded the beach really is before you load the car. Third-party feed — it goes down when the source does. Our own camera a little farther along the same beach is the one we can vouch for around the clock.

Reading the Perdido Key view

Which flag applies. Perdido Key is Escambia County, Florida — its flag is separate from Orange Beach's a few miles west, and the two don't always agree. Surface conditions on the cam say nothing about rip currents; see today's Perdido Key flag and conditions before you go in.
What the Florida beach shows. Perdido Key's Gulf front is a mix of condo stretches and long runs of undeveloped state-park and national-seashore sand, so this side generally looks emptier on camera than the Alabama strip. Sunrise comes in from the left of a south-facing frame; midday glare is straight into the lens.
If it goes dark. Third-party cams go down for weather, power, and maintenance on the source's schedule — not ours. Our own Perdido Key live cam a little farther along the same beach is the one we keep up around the clock.

Planning the day around it? Today's Beach Day Score, the Perdido Key area guide, and the fishing report are one tap away.
