A new beach volleyball and entertainment venue is coming soon to east Manhattan and the woman behind the project is hoping to fill a void she says the region has been without for too long.
Construction is underway on 785 Dive, at 8234 South Port Drive, a dive bar and outdoor beach volleyball complex planned next to Wildcat Creek Fitness. Owner Skylar German said the concept came about through her experience coaching young athletes and a lack of available space to play.
“There’s really nothing like this within two hours of Manhattan,” she said. “That’s why it was really important to me to offer it to the juniors because they didn’t have anywhere to get into sand volleyball, and neither did I growing up.”
