The world’s drowning in plastic.

It washes up, floats in, sneaks through our beaches, in our oceans, in the brands we buy and the places we stay.

We see it. We’re over it.

Let’s do something.

Get Saltee. Live plastic free.

Everyone wants to do better but without a solid guide, it’s hard to know where to start.

Enter the The Saltee Guide.

Your shortcut to the best places to surf, sip, shop, stay, play & chill each one doing their bit for the ocean.

This isn’t just a list. It’s a vibe. A place to discover and support the makers, movers, and independent brands taking real action on ocean pollution.

Who’s behind it?

A chill crew of locals, creatives, makers, indie traders, and coast-wanderers doing things their own way. Low-impact, full of intention, and ocean-obsessed.
