Long Beach Sand Volleyball Courts on Long Beach, California Beaches

Long Beach Sand Volleyball Nets & Courts - You'd never know by looking at these placid, intimate beaches in Long Beach, California that they've seen some world class action in their time. But once you know that Misty May Treanor, one of the world's top female volleyball players has lived in Long Beach and graduated from Long Beach State University where she helped win countless volleyball games for the women's volleyball team, you recognize the significance of volleyball nets at Long Beach beaches. All up and down the coast, and especially in Southern California, California beach volleyball is a hot sport that rakes in a lot of dough for the top players. But for the average folks, it's a fantastic game meant to be enjoyed under the sun and on the sand in Long Beach and elsewhere.

Belmont Shore beaches that are part of Long Beach include permanent volleyball nets (seen in photo above). Overlooking the Pacific Ocean south of downtown Long Beach near the Belmont Pier, these Belmont Shore sand courts are ready for play and though they take a beating, they're loving it! Do you want to know how to get to the Long Beach sand volleyball courts? E. Ocean Blvd. at Prospect is the spot.  Just look toward the Pacific Ocean and sand beaches and watch for people jumping up and down, plus white balls flying through the air.

On any given day you may see volleyball players of all skill levels getting sunshine, fun time and exercise in a setting right out of a storybook.  Next to the volleyball nets is a paved bike path that's a steady source of activity.  Bicyclist, roller bladers, skateboarders, joggers and walkers are on the path day and night, beating the pavement to get some exercise next to the ocean. 

You'll find the volleyball courts on East Ocean Boulevard a few blocks away from busy 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. There's some street parking and beach parking lots with metered parking (costs about $0.25/15 minutes.) While playing volleyball, stroll on over to the Belmont Pier to watch people fishing.
