Pickleball at the Beach 2026

Pickleball at the Beach combines competitive tournament play with a community fundraiser, with proceeds supporting CSULB Women's Basketball. Held at Cal State Long Beach, this two-day event welcomes players of all levels and offers a unique venue on a university campus. If you want to play competitive pickleball while supporting a good cause, this is one of the most feel-good tournaments on the SoCal calendar.

Cal State Long Beach provides a spacious campus setting with room for multiple courts and a relaxed, festival-like atmosphere. The Long Beach location means you are close to the coast, and late June weather will be warm but moderated by ocean proximity -- expect comfortable playing conditions with temperatures in the mid-70s. The surrounding Long Beach area offers excellent dining, from waterfront restaurants on 2nd Street to the eclectic food scene in downtown Long Beach.

At $75 for the first event, this is standard pricing for a community tournament, and the money goes to a worthy cause. The all-levels format makes this particularly welcoming for beginners and intermediate players who might be intimidated by skill-restricted events. Swish Tournaments handles the logistics, so expect smooth operations with app-based bracket management and court assignments. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or someone who just wants a fun weekend of pickleball with a charitable angle, this event hits the right notes.
