Sunglasses for the Ocean City Beach Patrol’s Lifeguards – A Hook Optics Tradition

Since 2021, Hook Optics has proudly supported new incoming lifeguard’s of the Ocean City Beach Patrol with top-quality polarized sunglasses designed to meet the demands of Maryland’s challenging coastal environment. These specialized sunglasses are essential for the lifeguards, providing the clarity and durability needed to protect beachgoers from dawn to dusk. Hook Optics’ tradition of outfitting the patrol is rooted in the performance of their lenses, which stand up to the intense sun, wind, and salt spray of Ocean City.

Jamie, a lieutenant of the Ocean City Beach Patrol, shares: “The new sunglasses are really great! I’ve been wearing them for everything… work, the boat, 5-6 mile runs, driving. Frames are unphased. I really notice the finish wicks water away when boat spray hits them. That also helps A LOT when we have a heavy south wind on the beach. All other sunglasses I have had get the south salt mist on them and have to be cleaned every five minutes. These can go hours. That’s really unique; I’ve never heard of anyone being able to do that. These are really, really top-notch!”

A Trusted Partnership Since 2021

Although Hook Optics’ tradition with the Ocean City Beach Patrol began just two years ago, it has already become an integral part of the lifeguards’ equipment. The polarized sunglasses provided by Hook Optics offer lifeguards the protection they need, with lenses that resist the heavy salt mist carried by the strong south winds common to Ocean City. This keeps the patrol focused on their duty—keeping beachgoers safe—without the constant need to clean their lenses.

The combination of polarized lenses and water-resistant coatings ensures that lifeguards can remain alert for longer periods, whether on the beach or on a boat. Their versatility is what makes Hook Optics’ sunglasses indispensable to those who work in extreme outdoor environments.

Designed for Ocean City’s Unique Conditions

Ocean City’s intense sun and salty air present unique challenges, but Hook Optics has designed its fishing sunglasses to handle just that. Not only do the lifeguards rely on them, but they’ve also become a favorite among the local fishing community. Anglers benefit from the same features that lifeguards appreciate: polarized lenses that cut glare, reduce eye strain, and wick away water, allowing for a clear view even in tough weather conditions.

The lifeguards and local fishers both understand the value of having durable sunglasses that can handle a day on the beach or on the water. Hook Optics has delivered on that need since 2021, ensuring that both lifeguards and outdoor enthusiasts are equipped with the best eyewear.

Hook Optics: Built for Performance

At Hook Optics, the focus is on creating eyewear that lasts, particularly for those who rely on their equipment every day. The polarized lenses offer a combination of protection from the sun and magnification for those who need reading assistance. This makes them perfect for all-day wear, whether you’re working on the beach, driving, or fishing in Ocean City.

What sets Hook Optics apart is their commitment to meeting the specific needs of the Ocean City Beach Patrol since 2021. With superior technology and a passion for supporting the local community, Hook Optics continues to produce sunglasses that are reliable, durable, and built for life on the coast.

For lifeguards, anglers, and outdoor lovers, Hook Optics remains the go-to for polarized fishing sunglasses that can handle Maryland’s most demanding beach conditions.
