Polo America has partnered with Hotel del Coronado to present Beach Polo.  On September 3rd and 4th twelve polo players and fifty plus horses will take to the beach.  This is the first time beach polo has been played on the West Coast.  Coronado has a long history with polo dating back to the early 1900’s.  The famous Spreckels Cup was first played in Coronado in 1909 as the Polo Challenge.  Times may have changed, but the polo action has not.    It is just as thrilling today as it was a hundred years ago to watch the polo players and horses travel at 35 mph trying to score a goal.

The spectacle of polo, the historic Hotel Del and the ocean make the perfect backdrop for a memorable weekend.   Attendees will be treated to two polo games each day, a meet and greet wine reception with the players, a gourmet lunch provided by Hotel del Coronado, a fashion show by Grayse, hat contest and much more.
