beach tennis

Coastal paddle sport

Beach tennis is a racquet sport played on sand, combining elements of tennis and volleyball.

Players use paddles to hit a ball over a net, but unlike tennis, the ball cannot touch the ground—points are won when the ball lands in the opponent's court or isn't returned.

We played beach tennis all afternoon.
