Elbo Room
Live Cam

This camera sits at the corner of Las Olas Boulevard and A1A, looking straight down the Elbo Room patio toward the crossing that carries everyone over to Fort Lauderdale Beach. It is a front row seat at one of the most recognisable corners in South Florida, where open air drinking, beach traffic and the ocean breeze all meet in one frame.

Why Elbo Room? Few bars are as tied to a stretch of sand as this one. Standing at the beach end of Las Olas since 1938, Elbo Room has watched spring break crowds, surfers and locals pass its open windows for generations. The cam captures that constant flow, with A1A traffic on one side and the Atlantic just across the road.

Elbo Room highlights: As you enjoy the live view, be sure to look out for:

• The Beach Crossing: Watch swimmers, cyclists and families queue at the corner light before streaming across A1A toward the sand and the wave wall.
• Patio Life: The open air patio fills and empties through the day, busiest in late afternoon when the sun drops behind the buildings.
• A1A Traffic: Convertibles, cruisers and the occasional parade of motorcycles roll past this famous beachfront corner all day and night.

Beyond the Corner: Fort Lauderdale Beach runs north and south from here as a wide ribbon of sand backed by the promenade wave wall. Las Olas Boulevard heads inland toward the shops, restaurants and canal lined neighbourhoods that earned the city its Venice of America nickname, with Port Everglades and the cruise terminals just to the south.

Thanks to the team at Elbo Room and ElboTV for keeping this camera pointed at their patio and the busiest crossing on the strip. Sharing a view of a corner they have held since 1938 lets anyone drop into Fort Lauderdale Beach for a moment.

Tune in for the best people watching seat in South Florida, whether you want a sunny beach crossing at midday or the neon glow of the strip after dark.
