Our Story
Behind the Brand
We're Mike and Sam, two Maryland natives and brother-in-laws who grew up spending summers on the Chesapeake bay and at the beach. We're here to elevate the beach experience by making every part of your day at the coast feel effortless, from setup to cleanup. Our mission started with designing products that tackle the small inconveniences of every beach day, like carrying bulky heavy gear on to the beach and no place for your crew's trash during the day. That's why we wanted to make gear that works together and packs lighter and (of course) looks good together!
The Origin
It started with a cooler full of trash.
After one too many beach days where we had the cooler doubled as a garbage can and crushed cans and other wrappers mixed in with drinks, or just taking multiple walks to the pubic bins throughout the day, we figured there had to be a better way to handle the mess and small inconveniences that comes with a day at the shore.
So we built the BeachBin™ — a collapsible, portable trash container that gives your waste one clear place to go. No more stuffing garbage back in the cooler or chasing plastic bags in the wind. No more leaving behind trash that ends up in the Ocean.
That first product led to a bigger idea we had: what if every piece of beach gear was designed this way? Lightweight. Portable. Intentional. Built to simplify the hard parts of a beach day so you can get to the good parts faster.
That's Clean Coastal.
