Its not. It depends where you live, I live where there is no beach, in a city and court volleyball is very popular in some high schools. There is a social beach tournament played indoors on sand, but its not popular at all. But somewhere on along beach, beach volleyball is very popular. It takes alot more skill to play proper court volleyball, beach volleyball is more fun and social.

Is volleyball like beach ball?
Beach volleyball is less painful then volleyball. In beach volleyball you dig into sand instead of a gym floor. Beach volleyball is hotter and you wear short shorts and a short but tight top. Most people wear sunglasses and you can play bearfooted. In volleyball they wear a jersey and short shorts. They wear tennis shoes also.
What is beach volleyball?
Beach volleyball is like indoor volleyball but with sand. Both sports are along the same lines like you serve the ball, pass the ball, hit the ball and set the ball. Outdoor sand/beach is most commonly played. Most club beach volleyball teams consist of you and one other player or partner. So you play two on two. The rules are mostly the same for indoor and outdoor volleyball some examples are you cant cross over the service line before making contact with the ball, you can't touch the net, if the ball hits outside the court with no other contact from the other team then it's out. Some difference between the two are you can't open hand tip, you can double on first contact if it a hard hit, if you set the ball it can only make 1full rotation or else its the other teams point and considered a double (some refs will be more or less lenient) also in some tournaments the refs are other players in your age group. Beach volleyball most people were swim suit bottoms and a sports bra or bikini instead of a jersey, spandex. Also you DO NOT where shoes or knee pads. Beach volleyball is also A LOT more lenient on jewelry like you can where anything really. Outdoor Beach volleyball is a lot of fun but also very challenging, with the hot practices + walking in sand + more court to cover since it just two of you, it is only for some people. But It is very fun and you should totally play hope this was helpful(:
Why do you need shoes?
Volleyball shoes or court shoes are used because they have gum material on the bottom so that they don't mark the court floor and they have better grip so you are less likely to slip.
