About Orange Beach, east end
East of Perdido Pass, Orange Beach thins out into a quieter stretch of condo towers with real dunes in front of them before the road runs on toward the Florida line. This camera sits high on Brett/Robinson's Phoenix X and looks down along the beach, over the dune fence and the beach-service stand to the surf. The angle runs along the shore rather than straight out, so you can see several lines of breakers, the trough between them and how far up the sand the swash is reaching. It is a useful second opinion on the busier Orange Beach camera to the west, a few miles closer to the line where the Alabama coast hands off to Perdido Key.
What this camera is good for
- Breaker lines and the trough between them
- How far up the beach the water is running
- Crowds and chair setups on the east end
- Rain bands coming in off the Gulf

Common questions
- Is the Orange Beach, east end camera live?
- Yes, it is a live stream running 24 hours a day. If it looks dark, it is night at the camera.
- Does it cost anything to watch?
- No. Salty Forecast is completely free — no ads, no account, no paid tier, and nothing on this page is behind a sign-up.
- What are the tides at Orange Beach today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Orange Beach are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Alabama Point. Tide state changes what the beach looks like on camera — at low water the beach is at its widest.
- Why does the camera look hazy or dark?
- Live cameras sit outdoors: rain on the lens, salt spray, fog and low light all affect the picture. Night views are lit only by whatever is nearby. If the feed is down entirely, that is the operator's camera rather than this page — the conditions above still update.
