Manhattan Beach is beach volleyball! Once again, we will be graced by the presence of greatness with some of the best volleyball players in the California Beach Volleyball Association. Top four teams from each division win complementary berth into the U.S. Open of Beach Volleyball.

Cal Cup Tournament to be played in Manhattan Beach on September 1st and 2nd on the South side of the Manhattan Beach Pier.

Tournament begins at 8am.

For more information see the CBVA website. Or go to the City of Manhattan Beach website for information on parking and local restaurants.

As your local resource for housing and information, I can make the following parking and restaurant recommendations:

Parking: Once you enter Manhattan Beach west of Sepulveda on Manhattan Beach Blvd., pass over Ardmore Drive and Valley Drive. You will immediately see a shopping center on your right called Metlox. You can take the next right at the Pomodoro restaurant. Halfway down the block you can turn right into an underground parking structure. The lowest floor has the longest metered parking for all day beach-goers. Be sure you have quarters! There are no change machines.

Meals: We do have the usual Starbucks and Coffee Bean or Noahs bagels. If you want to venture to some of the best food in town, see Uncle Bills on Highland just North of Manhattan Beach Blvd. Sometimes you’ll wait 15 minutes, but it is well worth it. Lunch: Sandwiches from Becker’s Bakery at Manhattan Avenue around 10th should hit the spot. If you’re still around and ready to celebrate after the tournament, I suggest you go for the coldest beer in town at Shellback’s on the corner of Manhattan Beach Blvd., just above the pier. Have the Chicken Nuggets. They’re made with beer batter and they are awesome!

Have a great time! Be safe!
