Earle and Andrea first came to love the magic of Montezuma, Costa Rica as regular visitors exploring the wild beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. The beaches, jungle, wildlife, and the welcoming local community made the region feel like a second home.
Everything changed during a trip to Jacó, Costa Rica when they rescued a stray dog who would later be named Cosmos.
What began as a simple act of compassion soon became something much bigger.
As they spent more time along the coastline, they noticed something that troubled them deeply — plastic waste, litter, and trash washing onto the same beaches that make Costa Rica one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Instead of simply accepting it, they decided to get involved.
By combining their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and their love for the ocean, they created Pacific Claw Co. — a brand with a mission to help protect the coastline while celebrating the laid-back beach culture that draws people from around the world.
At the heart of the brand are two mascots.
A cheerful crab reminding everyone:
“Don’t Be Trashy. Pick It Up.”
And Cosmos — the rescue dog who now spends his days running the beaches and greeting travelers.
Small actions by many people can create big change.
Pacific Claw Co invites locals, travelers, surfers, and beach lovers to become part of the movement. Every shirt, hat, sticker, and cleanup event helps spread awareness and support efforts to keep the beaches of Costa Rica clean and thriving.
Earle and Andrea believe that when people fall in love with a place, they also feel responsible for protecting it.
Their goal is simple — to inspire visitors and communities along coastlines everywhere to protect the ocean, respect nature, and leave every beach better than they found it.
