A beach volleyball court is a specially designed area for playing the sport of beach volleyball. Beach volleyball is a popular variation of traditional indoor volleyball that is played on sand instead of a hard court. The court layout and dimensions are slightly different to accommodate the unique characteristics of sand. Here are the common features and dimensions of a beach volleyball court:

1. Court Size: A standard beach volleyball court is 16 meters (52.5 feet) long and 8 meters (26.25 feet) wide. The court dimensions are the same for both doubles and fours (two teams of two players or four players, respectively). However, the playing area can be adjusted for recreational purposes or to accommodate different levels of play.
2. Playing Surface: The playing surface of a beach volleyball court is made of sand. The sand is typically fine-grained and leveled to provide a consistent and suitable playing surface. The depth and quality of the sand may vary depending on the location and maintenance of the court.
3. Boundary Lines: Beach volleyball courts have boundary lines that mark the playing area. The lines are typically made of tape or a similar material and are 5 centimeters (2 inches) wide. The court is divided into halves by a centerline, and there are boundary lines along the sidelines and end lines.
4. Net: A beach volleyball net is placed in the center of the court, parallel to the sidelines. The top edge of the net is set at a height of 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) for men’s competitions and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for women’s competitions. The net is supported by poles on each side, which are positioned outside the sidelines.
