About this event

The Emerald Coast Volleyball Week is five full days of high-energy beach volleyball action right on Okaloosa Island, where the stunning turquoise waters of the Gulf serve as the backdrop to every match. Held at The Boardwalk, one of Fort Walton Beach's most vibrant outdoor venues, this spring tournament draws competitive teams from across the Southeast for Coed, Men's and Women's 2s and 4s divisions spanning Open, A, BB, and B skill levels.

Whether you're a competitive player grinding through an Open bracket or a casual player stepping onto the sand in the B division for the first time, Emerald Coast Volleyball Week offers a level of play and a setting that's hard to beat. Between matches, players and spectators alike can enjoy the Boardwalk's restaurants, shops, and direct Gulf access.

Traveling families will love combining the tournament schedule with Destin's beaches, water parks and seafood restaurants just minutes away. The late-April timing is ideal โ€” Gulf water temperatures are climbing, crowds are still manageable, and the Florida sun is reliably warm and welcoming.

Best for: Beach volleyball players and teams, sports families, spectators who love competitive outdoor athletics

What to expect: Five days of competitive beach volleyball at multiple courts on Okaloosa Island, with divisions for all skill levels from Open to B. Restaurants and Gulf access nearby for off-hours fun.

Planning tip: Register your team early โ€” bracket spots fill quickly for popular divisions. Book oceanfront or island accommodations to minimize commute to the courts.
