Sailing events for the upcoming Olympic Games in Los Angeles will take place along the coast of Belmont Shore and the Port of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28) announced on June 30.
“Long Beach is the premiere location for windsurfing and kite—two outstanding sailing events that will captivate spectators,” Mayor Rex Richardson said in a public statement. “We hosted Sailing competitions during the 1984 Olympic Games, and we cannot wait to continue our legacy and show our beautiful coastline to the world once again in 2028.”
These locations were chosen because they offer suitable conditions for racing and spectator viewing, according to a statement from the City of Long Beach.
Sailing at the 2028 Games will feature 10 events across men’s, women’s and co-ed teams. Men and women’s windsurfing and kiteboarding will take place off the coast of Belmont Shore. The other six events will include various styles of boat racing at the Port of Los Angeles.
Long Beach will host the most events outside of Los Angeles, with 11 Olympic and 7 Paralympic competitions scheduled in the city.
The 2028 Olympic Games will take place from July 14–30, and the Paralympic Games will follow from August 15–27.
