Website Update - Live Cameras

WRBC Members:

I am pleased to announce that the Whihala Beach live camera feed is now available once again on the website! Also as an added bonus we now have 2 camera views, one facing the boat launch and one down the beach towards the casino!

Please check it out on the 'Live Camera' tab when you have a chance. Please note that each camera opens in a new tab for each feed. If the new tabs do not open, click the link on the camera page.

Thanks!
