Beach volleyball in the beachless City of Tomar in Portugal

Posted under Sporting Activities by Fernando Fidalgo on November 8th, 2011

There’s no beach in Tomar as this city is located in the centre of Portugal. In fact the nearest beach by car is about 80 Km away in a town called Nazaré. Yet you can play beach volleyball in Tomar as you can see on this set of photos. The popularity of sand volleyball originated in Hawaii and California, has grown so much worldwide that Tomar couldn’t help but also get into the action.
