Are you looking to buy some new beach volleyball lines?  I would recommend that you get the wide 2 inch lines because they are the best and that is what they use in the AVP.  You will notice that they will give you something to see out of your peripheral vision when hitting or defending the ball.  A brighter color is always better than any color that might blend in with the sand.  So remember to keep those 2 factors in mind.

I often get people asking me if there are a different set of beach volleyball rules than the indoor ones.  The answer is YES and you need to learn all the rule differences before you ever step foot in the sand.  The best thing to do for an indoor player that is playing sand volleyball for the first time is to never set the ball with your hands because your setting will not fly.  It will take months to be able to set legally so don't even try if you haven't been practicing the proper techniques.

The rule is that you can never set the serve and the same strict requirements are in place for setting any ball that is "free balled" over the net, just don't do it because they have to come out super clean and yours will not if you are new to the sand game.

 A hard driven ball on the other hand is free game to do whatever you want with.  You can grab it and throw it up practically because a double contact is allowed on hard driven balls.  This is so that there can be longer rallys and the sport will be more entertaining to the crowds.

Another big rule that you need to know is that you can't open hand tip in beach volleyball.  You can roll shot or shoot off the palm of your hand.  You can camel toe (hit it with your 2 knuckles) but you can't do any open hand tipping.  In my opinion this should never be allowed in indoor either, but I digress.
