Fair Harbor

Fair Harbor makes super comfortable beachwear made from recycled plastic bottles. Founded in 2014 by siblings Jake and Caroline Danehy, Fair Harbor was started with the goal of helping promote the reduction of single use plastics and keeping waste out of our oceans. Fair Harbor creates products for you to enjoy the places we love, while protecting those places too. 

Growing up, Jake and Caroline spent all of their summers with their family in Fair Harbor, a barefoot, tight-knit beach community on Fire Island, off the southern shore of Long Island, NY. Car-free and perfectly sun-worn, it was the ideal place to explore. Their time by the beach came to mean so much more over the years. In Fair Harbor, they experienced the endless freedom of summer and formed a deep appreciation for the water and the bounty of the sea. Witnessing the accumulation of plastic waste along the coastline, the Danehy´s couldn’t ignore the fact that the places they love aren’t guaranteed to last forever.

Fair Harbor beachwear was born out of deep care for our waterways and a desire to preserve the magic of the shoreline for future generations. That’s why all of the signature beachwear is made from upcycled plastic bottles, for versatile comfort that considers the ocean.

 Airy yet supportive, our quick-drying BreezeKnit™ offers the easy give of 4-way stretch and is made from nearly 90% upcycled plastic bottles.

At Fair Harbor you can also give your old swim shorts a second life by sending them back via the Roundtrip initiative. Fair Harbor takes any old swimsuits from their customers and gives them a discount code for future Fair Harbor purchases. This initiative is meant to discourage people from throwing old clothes into the garbage, where it will end up in landfills and increase pollution. Fair Harbor also organizes beach cleanups to raise awareness about the problems around waste in our oceans. “We believe in progress, not perfection. Caroline: “These small improvements can have a huge impact on how all industries and companies really approach sustainability”.
