It is the eighth year that England's elite beach volleyball players have competed on Central Beach.

The free-to-watch event, organised by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Volleyball England, sees teams battle it out on the sand, with the key showdowns held in a purpose-built grandstand.

The tour is staged at five different beach locations around England's coastline, culminating with the finals in Margate, Kent, to decide who will be crowned National Beach Volleyball Champions of 2013.

After the event, the action in Great Yarmouth will be screened on Sky Sports 4 and Sky Sports 4 HD, on Wednesday, August 21, between 9pm and 11pm, with repeats the following day (Thursday, August 22) from 4am to 6am, 11am to 1pm, and 3pm to 5pm.

To see the action today, head to the beach by Britannia Pier - no tickets are needed and entry is free.
