Live Webcams in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is less a city than a constellation of neighbourhoods, and the live webcams in Los Angeles pick out its coast: the boardwalk at Venice with its skaters and street performers, the surf at Manhattan Beach, the Pacific going gold at sunset, and the airport where the jets line up over the ocean. LA keeps Pacific Time, UTC−8 in winter and UTC−7 in summer, so a European evening is a Californian morning — often a foggy one from May to June, the "June gloom" that burns off by noon. Four million people live in the city proper, eighteen million in the wider basin, spread across 1,200 square kilometres of freeway and palm. The best months for these webcams are April to June and September to November, when the marine layer lifts and the sunsets are clearest.
