Sand at SM by the Bay: Manila's Newest Venue for Sand Lovers

When we say Beach Volleyball, the first thing that would come in our mind is sand. Players need to go as far as Boracay or Palawan to get the kind of venue that they need. Well, they don’t need to look far because the sand they need is now here in Manila

SM by the Bay, envisioned to be Manila’s premier destination for leisure and lifestyle activities, launched Sands at SM by the Bay, the only beach-themed, multi-purpose, outdoor sand court in the city.

With a spacious court area measuring 28x18 meters, Sands is an ideal facility for outdoor sports such as beach volleyball, beach tennis and sepak takraw. Sands in also the perfect venue for product launches and beach-themed parties without the hassle of traveling outside the city.

At the launch were former DLSU Lady Spikers and now professional volleyball league players Melissa Gohing, Michelle Datuin, Petron Beach Volleyball champion Aileen Abuel and former Shakey’s V-League MVP and now Super Liga pro player Rachel Ann Daquis. Joining this roster of local personalities were trade partners and heads of sports and lifestyle brands, as well as friends from the media. To complete the beach vibe, the event featured performances by fire dancers and percussionists set against the Manila Bay sunset. The event was made possible with the support of Roxy, Quicksilver, Mikasa, The Lab Gastropub, Oceana and The Roadhouse Manila Bay.

Open for private bookings, corporate and sport-related functions, Sands is located at the north area of SM by the BAY grounds.
