Full Explanation

Per ITF Beach Tennis Court Specifications (Appendix I), the net must be 1.70 meters high at the posts (or stanchions) and 1.65 meters high at the center of the court. This is noticeably higher than a standard lawn tennis net (0.914 meters at center), reflecting the overhead-dominant nature of beach tennis where the primary attacking shots are overhead smashes and high volleys. The net spans the full 8-meter width of the court. The net posts are placed outside the sidelines. A serve or rally shot that hits the net and lands in the opponent's court during a rally is in play; on a serve it results in a let.
