This study aimed to evaluate the density and the effect of the sand characteristics on the physical parameters in Beach Volleyball athletes, the researcher developed an instrument pilot following the standard of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT, MB-1059/86) for measuring the density of sand in situ. This study formed part eighteen (n=18) female athletes from Brazil, with a mean age of 24 ± 4.35 years, height 1.76 ± 0.05 meter, federated with a year of competition in the Circuit Bank of Brazil and World Tour. The study evaluated three physical abilities and their relation to the density of sand in two different places (beaches of Ipanema and Barra - Rio de Janeiro) in athletes practicing volleyball. According to the objectives proposed in the introduction and the results became evident that the type of sand did not affect the indicators associated with physical valences studied, agility, speed, and power. However, with the tests, it was possible to create a possible profile of the female athlete in the Brazilian beach volleyball.
