Founded in 1983 by a group of fishermen in Daytona Beach, Florida, Costa Del Mar was born from a need for sunglasses that could withstand the harsh conditions of life on the water. The brand is built around its proprietary 580® lens technology, which enhances color and contrast by filtering specific light wavelengths, making it a favorite among anglers, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts for its superior visual clarity and glare reduction. While performance remains at its core, with features like durable frames and advanced lens materials, Costa has also expanded into lifestyle designs that transition off the water.
