Escape the Rain with the Seychelles Beach Cam

We usually save the “it’s summer somewhere” stories for the horrors of mid-winter, but since much of the eastern United States has apparently been turned into Seattle, we’re thinking some of you may have forgotten what a genuine sunny day looks like.

So we like the Seychelles’ online tourism campaign, which includes just about all you need to convince someone to go to the Seychelles—a continuously updated webcam focused on Mahe Island’s Beau-Vallon Beach, a 3-mile-long, Northwest-facing stretch of idyllic white sand that looks to be beach heaven on earth.

The beach cam, along with another focused on the Seychelles’ bustling Victoria Market, is updated every 15 seconds, so you can pretty much just sit there and drool through the entire work day. Watch long enough and you might even see some pirates.

PyramidCam

Fodor's alerts us to a new web cam that's pretty novel. It's completely of the pyramids at Giza. PyramidCam.com gets more than 1,000 shots a day of the famed pyramids-at daybreak, dusk, sunset-some are pretty spectacular. They've also got a 'best of' section too of course. A nice break from the zoo cam you've been forcing everyone in your office to endure.
