Manhattan Beach Open

The Manhattan Beach Open, considered the Masters of beach volleyball, is the sport’s premier event, with winners memorialized on bronze plaques in the "Volleyball Walk of Fame," which spans the length of the Manhattan Beach Pier. “The Manhattan Beach Open is the one tournament that all players want to play in, but only one team can win to get their names on the Pier,” said Sinjin Smith, who won his first Manhattan Beach title in 1979 and went on to win it six more times.
