From Desert Sands to Coastal Shores

The Evolution of Beach Polo

Beach polo is a thrilling adaptation of one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious sports.

Originating as a modern twist on traditional field polo, beach polo first gained popularity in glamorous coastal cities like Miami, Dubai and Cape Town, where the sport was reimagined for sand, surf and spectators.

Played on a smaller field with fewer players, beach polo offers fast-paced action, dramatic plays and an intimate viewing experience. It’s a sport that blends athleticism with elegance, attracting global audiences who appreciate both competition and culture.

Beach Polo Classic brings this international phenomenon to Australia, transforming St Kilda Beach into a stage for sport, style and summer celebration.
