Seaside, Oregon, will host the 44th edition of its beach volleyball tournament from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9, expanding to 245 nets and a fifth day of competition. Sadie Mercer, the event’s organizer, highlighted new features including a Glow Volley night for players under 18, complete with LED-lit equipment and techno beats.
