Beach Polo returns to Hotel del Coronado on September 7-9, 2018. Fans will once again see the best professional polo players and ponies compete on the Hotel Del’s private beach. Fifty polo ponies and 12 polo players will bring the action to within a few feet of the spectators. The beach-playing surface is about the size of a football field, allowing the horses to reach speeds up to 30 – 35 mph. The players love our picturesque venue, the iconic hotel on one side and the beautiful blue ocean on the other. Temperatures should be ideal, ranging around the low 70s.
Beach Polo at Hotel del Coronado is the social event of the summer season. Those who enjoy fine dining and world-class polo in a party atmosphere are in for a special treat. The festivities begin on Friday, September 7th as the 10,000 square foot VIP Tent on the beach is transformed into a giant cocktail lounge. The Friday night Silver tickets this year include two complimentary drinks and a souvenir Beach Polo hat. As in the past the front row is designated as Millionaire’s Row. Sixteen luxurious boxes featuring white leather furniture with seating for ten. To set a festive mood on Friday, men are invited to wear white tuxedo jackets, black tie and colorful surfer shorts. There is a contest for Best Dressed Couple.
On Saturday and Sunday (September 8 & 9) guests can choose a box in Millionaire’s Row, a Gold VIP table or Silver tickets. New to Millionaire’s Row this year is the inclusion of twenty complimentary drink tickets. Gold VIP seating is on the front row of the second terrace in the VIP Tent. Ticket holders are treated to a formal 3-course luncheon and wine provided by Hotel del Coronado. Each day Grayse and Brady’s will have informal modeling during the polo and luncheon. Millionaire’s Row boxes and Silver tickets will have the option of purchasing an array of culinary delights from Hotel del Coronado.
- Attire is Beach Chic. Women will be in their sundresses and hats. Men in nice slacks and shirts. (Coats optional)

New this year is the addition of “The Humidor,” a private cigar-smoking tent. Guests will be able to purchase cigars and enjoy them while watching the game. “The Humidor” is placed 80’ from the VIP Tent.
