About the Fairfield County Beach Volleyball Tour
Founded in the early 1990s as a premier
2-player beach volleyball tournament at Compo Beach, the event quickly grew into a three-town tour spanning Jennings and West Beach. The 2026 revival honors that legacy by modernizing the experience with 4-Player Coed, pairing high-level competition with its original mission: bringing the community together for unforgettable days of fun in the sun.
