The annual World Polo League Beach Polo World Cup, Miami Beach is galloping onto the sands of South Beach this week!

With gorgeous views of the turquoise waters of Miami Beach, the feel of the warm, ocean breeze on your skin and the sights and sounds of polo ponies galloping and kicking up the sand, the World Polo League's Beach Polo World Cup, Miami Beach is quite an experience.

One of the largest polo competitions in the world, this four-day event hosts a glitzy combination of polo matches, fashion and parties. Whether you have a passion for polo or simply want to experience something unique, you should mark your calendar for the daily competitions and events that take on the sands of South Beach between 21st and 22nd streets near Collins Park.

Featuring eight international teams and a roster of players from more than 10 nations, the event offers attendees the chance to watch some of the world's best polo players compete.

High-goal matches take place throughout the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with a celebrity charity match and an award presentation wrapping up the event on Sunday evening. When the polo games are done for the day, guests can shop in the retail village or head to The Setai Miami Beach hotel for the Après Polo event each night.

Social events happening outside of the games offer a chance to mingle with polo aficionados, a sprinkling of celebs, and those who want to be part of the see-and-be-seen crowd.
