The Compostela City Hall as well as the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau also lent their support. The event has also received the endorsement of the Mexican Volleyball Federation and the Nayarit Volleyball Association.

There will be MX$30,000 in prizes available for the winners in the open category for both the women’s and men’s divisions.

The courts where the games will be played are ideal for beach volleyball. They’re located in an area known as “Las Escolleras,” practically in the residential area of this microdestination.

The beautiful picture-postcard perfect Isla del Coral will serve as an inspiring backdrop for both the players and the public from Guerrero, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Pueblo, Ciudad de México, Baja California, Norte, Sonora, Sinaloa, Zacatecas, Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit.
