The Costa Del Mar Tybee sunglasses bring the relaxed spirit of Georgia's Tybee Island to a rectangular acetate frame built for water, sun, and everyday wear. Named after the laid-back beaches near Savannah, the Tybee is part of Costa's Del Mar Collection—a line of prescription-ready lifestyle frames for people who love the ocean even when they're not on it.
Costa 580 Lens Technology: Built for Anglers, Loved by Everyone
Costa didn't just polarize these lenses—they re-engineered how sunglasses handle light. The 580G glass lenses filter out harsh yellow light and harmful high-energy blue (HEV) light in the 400–500nm range, cutting the haze and eye fatigue that comes from short-wavelength blue. What's left? Reds, greens, and blues that pop with definition you won't find in standard polarized glass. Anglers rely on 580 lenses to spot fish in the water; everyone else just enjoys how much sharper the world looks.
The glass is Costa's LightWAVE construction—20% thinner and 22% lighter than typical polarized glass, with mirrors encapsulated between layers so they never scratch off. The C-Wall coating adds scratch resistance and repels water, oil, and sweat. You get 100% UV protection, 99.9% polarization efficiency, and optical clarity that rivals anything on the market. 580P polycarbonate lenses are available in select frame colors including tortoise and black kelp finishes, offering lighter weight and more impact resistance, though many Costa enthusiasts prefer the glass versions for superior optical clarity.
Frame Details: Ocean-Inspired Acetate, Prescription-Ready
The Tybee's full-rim rectangular shape suits average to wider faces (55mm lens width, 19mm bridge, 140mm temples). The acetate is durable and holds its shape through daily use, with adjustable core wire in the temples for a custom fit. Select colors use Costa's Ocean Current bio-acetate, made from 67% natural and renewable materials. The frame is prescription-ready—you can add your Rx in either 580G glass (up to moderate prescriptions) or 580P polycarbonate (higher powers).
Available in 13 variants spanning tortoise, black kelp, shiny light gray crystal, and ocean current blue frames, paired with lenses from copper and green mirror to gray gradient and blue mirror. Each lens tint is tuned for specific conditions: green mirror excels on the flats and inshore, blue mirror cuts glare offshore, gray is the all-purpose choice.
Who It's For
The Tybee fits men with average-sized heads looking for a medium-coverage frame (6-base curve) that balances style and performance. It's at home on a boat, at the beach, or running errands—casual enough for everyday wear, technical enough for serious time on the water. If you need prescription polarized sunglasses with real optical performance, the Tybee is one of the few frames that delivers Costa's full 580 technology in Rx form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Costa Tybee sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Costa Tybee 2003 is fully prescription-ready. You can order them with Costa's 580G glass lenses (for moderate prescriptions) or 580P polycarbonate lenses (for higher prescriptions up to approximately -5.00). The frame is part of Costa's Del Mar Collection, specifically designed to accommodate prescription lenses while maintaining the full 580 color-enhancement technology.
What is the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?
580G lenses are made from Costa's LightWAVE glass—20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass, offering superior optical clarity and scratch resistance with mirrors encapsulated between glass layers. 580P lenses are polycarbonate, making them lighter, more impact-resistant, and better for active sports, though some users report the glass provides noticeably better clarity. Both offer the same 580 color-enhancement technology and 100% UV protection.
What does Costa 580 lens technology actually do?
Costa 580 technology filters out light at 580 nanometers—the harsh yellow wavelength that causes haze and reduces contrast. It also blocks 100% of UV light and absorbs harmful high-energy blue (HEV) light linked to eye diseases. The result is enhanced reds, greens, and blues, sharper contrast, and reduced eye strain. The technology has 99.9% polarization efficiency for superior glare reduction, especially on water.
What size head do Costa Tybee sunglasses fit?
The Tybee has a regular fit designed for average-sized heads. The frame measures 55mm lens width, 19mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length. Costa describes it as a "large lens front" with medium coverage and a 6-base curve, meaning it offers moderate wrap without being overly sporty. The temples include adjustable core wire for a customized fit.
Are Costa Tybee lenses polarized and do they have UV protection?
Yes, all Costa Tybee lenses are 100% polarized to eliminate reflective glare, and they block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC light. The lenses also feature Costa's C-Wall coating for scratch resistance and to repel water, oil, and sweat. Whether you choose 580G glass or 580P polycarbonate, you get full UV protection and polarization.
What is the inspiration behind the Costa Tybee frame design?
The Tybee is named after Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, known for its laid-back beach culture. It's part of Costa's Del Mar Collection of acetate lifestyle frames that capture the spirit of coastal living with ocean-inspired colorways and casual style. Some variants use Ocean Current bio-acetate made from 67% natural and renewable materials, honoring the world's water in both design and practice.

Costa Del Mar Tybee 2003 vs. Other Costa Rectangular Frames
If you're drawn to the Tybee's rectangular shape and Costa's 580 lens technology, you have a few strong alternatives in our catalog. Here's how the Tybee stacks up against other Costa options.
Tybee vs. Rinconcito 9016
The Costa Rinconcito 9016 is the closest match—another rectangular acetate frame with 580G and 580P lens options and prescription capability. Both frames offer similar coverage and construction quality. The Tybee edges ahead with 13 color variants (including bio-acetate Ocean Current options) versus the Rinconcito's more limited selection, and the Tybee's Del Mar Collection heritage gives it a more lifestyle-focused design. If you want maximum color choice and the coastal aesthetic, go Tybee. If you prefer a simpler selection and potentially different fit dimensions, check the Rinconcito's measurements.
Tybee vs. Fisch 9054
The Costa Fisch 9054 ($199–$296) is built for serious anglers—more technical, more performance-driven. Both are prescription-ready with 580 lenses, but the Fisch leans into fishing-specific design while the Tybee is casual enough for everyday wear. Choose the Fisch if you spend long days on the water and want a frame optimized for that. Choose the Tybee if you want a frame that works on the boat and off, with a relaxed style that doesn't scream "fishing sunglasses."
Tybee vs. Half Moon 9026
The Costa Half Moon 9026 ($147–$296) offers a different frame shape, so this comparison depends on your face shape and style preference. Both deliver the same 580 lens technology, UV protection, and prescription capability. The Tybee's rectangular shape suits angular or oval faces, while the Half Moon's design may fit rounder faces better. If you're set on a rectangular frame, the Tybee is the pick. If you're open to exploring other shapes, the Half Moon is worth trying on.
Why Choose the Tybee?
The Tybee stands out for its combination of casual coastal style, 13 color options (including eco-conscious bio-acetate), and the full Costa 580 experience in a prescription-ready package. It's the best choice if you want a rectangular frame that looks good anywhere, performs on the water, and offers the lens variety to match your conditions and style.
