The “Wimbledon of beach volleyball” returns to Manhattan Beach, where Olympic medalists, AVP stars and the sport’s future legends compete for a place in volleyball history—and for a plaque on the Manhattan Beach Pier Volleyball Walk of Fame. The tournament transforms the beach into one giant stadium, complete with center-court drama, ocean breezes and spectators who somehow make sitting in the sand look glamorous. General admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis, though premium ticketed seating is also available. Consider it practice for the 2028 Summer Olympics.
