Getting StartedWhat to Wear for Beach Tennis
You need less than you think. Here is the simple kit list for playing on sand.
For beach tennis, wear light, breathable athletic clothing (a tank or tee and shorts), strong sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), and play barefoot or in sand socks for grip and to keep the heat off. No special shoes are needed since the game is played on sand.
