While summer may be over, the beach is still very much the place to be, especially with the Volleyslam Beach Volleyball Festival about to get started in Coolangatta. The 11-day festival will kick off with the Australian Championships, before featuring the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships, Schools Cup and Beach Pro Tour Futures.

The entire festival is free to attend, so all you need to do is slip, slop, slap and enjoy watching the professionals carve it up on the court.
