Bump, set, and spike your way to a fun-filled getaway with family and friends in Panama City Beach. Volleyball is a popular local sport and is one of many beach day activities you’ll find along the 27-mile stretch of beach on the Gulf Coast. Here, the sand sets the scene and adds to the challenge of any game.
Sandy Locales
From sand to beach volleyball courts at local parks and beaches, PCB is full of volleyball attractions, perfect for a family tournament or a pick-up game.
On the east side of the Russell-Fields City Pier are nearly a dozen volleyball courts directly on the beach. These courts are available to the public and for tournament rentals. After a day of volleyball fun, grab a bite to eat at nearby Hook’d Pier Bar & Grill or cross Front Beach Road for a large selection of restaurants, shops, and attractions at Pier Park.
Frank Brown Park is a premier sports facility and the largest park in Panama City Beach, featuring over 200 acres of outdoor recreation. The park is home to sand volleyball courts and other courts for tennis and basketball and soccer and baseball fields.
