Costa Del Mar or simply Costa is an American manufacturer of polarized sunglasses based in Daytona Beach, Florida.[1] It is a wholly owned subsidiary of EssilorLuxottica. Their sunglasses are popular in the sport sunglasses market, and are considered good for outdoor sports practicing, such as Summer activities, recreational fishing and boating.[2][3][4] Costa's Baffin Sunglasses won Best of Show: Eyewear at ICAST 2018.[5][6]
