LA28 Confirms Split Sailing and Sport Venues

The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic sailing events will be jointly hosted by Belmont Shore in Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, as finalized by LA28. Belmont Shore will host windsurfing and kiteboarding, while the Port of L.A. will stage six boat racing events. The venues, about 10 miles apart, will hold events consecutively to optimize viewership and capitalize on their historic Olympic legacy—San Pedro hosted sailing in 1932 and Long Beach in 1984. This decision came after advocacy by local officials to share the spotlight and was coordinated closely with LA28 and World Sailing. Both city and LA28 leaders expect the split to enhance the region's international reputation in sailing. Additionally, Long Beach will serve as a hub for other Olympic sports, including beach volleyball, rowing, and target shooting.
