Everyone loves to look at some great live beach views , especially if you’re planning a holiday, or even still deciding where you would like to go. There’s a number of ways you check out which beaches are the best out there – once you’ve decided on a short list you can hit the computer and start Googling away to look for images and reviews of the places you’re considering going to. You can guarantee there’ll be a wide range of pictures and descriptions out there.
For those who are more up to date with some of the more recent high-tech technological developments you might even download yourself a copy of Google Earth and go for a live satellite view of the places you have under consideration. Or how about taking to the streets with Google’s street view? It may not get you right onto the beach itself, but you can get pretty close with many promenades and piers featured, getting you right up to the action in some cases.
So you may come up with a list of definite maybes – there’ll almost certainly be some Australian beaches in there, Bondi, Manly or Palm Beach perhaps, Florida is likely to feature, with Miami and Clearwater among the popular names, or in Europe you might like the look of Paphos in Cyprus, the Greek Islands of Naxos or Crete, or any number of golden sand stretches on the Algarve in Portugal. In Africa, there are some lovely stretches in Kenya and Egypt, and who can leave out the white sands and glamour of the Caribbean. But how do you know the beach you’ve found will match up to the pictures and satellite images in real life?
One of the best ways is to find a webcam, where you can get an actual live view of the places you’re considering. A recently launched world webcam directory , myworldwebcams.com features live beach scenes form dozens of the most well known and popular beaches all around the world, as long as a fair few you might not have heard of – but aren’t the hidden gems often the best? The beauty of the web cam view is it allows you to check out a place in live format, at different times of the day and year to see exactly what it’s like, how busy it gets and whether it’s the kind of place you would like to spend your holiday.
