Great fit and feel. The inner lining works a treat. Apart from the fit, the look is unique. Best swim shorts I have bought in a long time!

Lovely material, dries really quick and child loved this design. Great way of keeping them protected from the sun too.

Tried on many other brands and couldn't find the right fit until I found Sandbar. The styles suit and flatter my body shape, really glad with my purchases!

From our family to yours

Started by a mum who wanted to make a difference

Sandbar began in Singapore with a young family, a dive log and a frustration: watching the ocean change, and the lack of awareness of the downstream impact of our choices. So we made matching family swimwear that takes plastic out instead, with 1 kg of ocean plastic removed for every piece sold.

Our flagship store is in Singapore, families match on beaches from the Maldives to Mallorca, and we now ship from New Jersey in the the USA too.
