Beach volleyball isn't always played on a beach – as this poster for the 2009 McEntee Hire New Zealand Open (held at an Auckland tennis centre) shows. When competitive games are held on a beach, sand will sometimes be trucked in. Coarse sand at beaches such as Wellington's Oriental Bay (a venue for the annual beach volleyball tour) is covered with a deep layer of finer sand and the court is set up on top. For social play, which is generally more relaxed, any reasonably level beach can provide an enjoyable game.
