Weekly volleyball socials on the beach

Every Thursday on Clifton 1st (plus it's free)

 Last Updated: Tuesday, 19 December 2023

Friends Who Volley is a weekly summer event on Clifton 1st with volleyball games, sunsets and live music. It’s a great way to end off an evening in the summer and make new friends. Plus, it’s totally free.

CLIFTON 1ST BEACH SOCIAL

It all started with a few friends wanting to play beach volleyball. Now in its third season, Friends Who Valley has become one of Cape Town’s hottest summer socials. It happens every Thursday on Clifton 1st Beach. You can play a game, swim in the water or dance to the live music. The games start from 5pm and go until after sunset.


It’s on from the month of November until April. Image: @janikafirmani

TEST YOUR VOLLEYBALL SKILLS

You don’t need to be a pro volleyball player, or even play at all. Players can be at any level, it is purely for fun and no competition. If you’re lucky you might even get to play against a professional athlete (rumour has it that Springbok Damian Willemse was seen at an event).


The game is played in teams of five. Image: @amarens
