The UK Beach Tour (UKBT) is the United Kingdom's national competition for beach volleyball players, coordinated in partnership with Volleyball England,[1] Scottish Volleyball,[2] and the Northern Irish Volleyball Federation.

The tournaments are organised by individuals and clubs, in line with UKBT guidance.
[6][7] Participant players are awarded points based on their ranking in UK and international tournaments, and these are coordinated into a national ranking system.
