Relic’s Coastal Collaborative is a community-driven initiative dedicated to reducing coastal pollution. By providing beachgoers with 100% recycled plastic baskets, we empower individuals to take an active role in keeping our beaches free of debris.

This program thrives thanks to the support of local businesses, whose sponsorship enables us to expand our reach and provide the resources needed to sustain these efforts. Partnering with municipal governments, motivated community members, and our incredible sponsors, we’re building a unified effort to preserve and protect our coastlines for future generations.

Located in the heart of Greenport, One Love Beach is a family-owned surf, skate, and outdoor lifestyle shop that’s all about celebrating Long Island’s vibrant coastal community. Founded by Chris and Blake Dowling — who first met on the water — One Love Beach was built on a vision to create a year-round hub for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. Their shop is a true gathering place where people can find not just paddle boards, skateboards, and eco-friendly gear, but also the knowledge and encouragement to get outside and stay outside.

Greenport’s favorite stand-up paddle board boutique since 2013, One Love proudly carries a thoughtfully curated selection of clothing, footwear, handcrafted jewelry, seasonal gear, and more — all inspired by a love for life on the water. It’s a space where adventure, creativity, and environmental care naturally intertwine.

Since June 2022, One Love Beach has extended that passion for local conservation by sponsoring a beach cleanup station at Town Beach in Southold. Their sponsorship ensures this essential resource remains stocked and accessible year-round, inviting beachgoers to pitch in and help preserve one of the North Fork’s most iconic shorelines.

Beyond their partnership with Relic’s Coastal Collaborative, environmental stewardship is woven into everything One Love does. From stocking sustainable and ocean-friendly product lines to actively supporting local clean water initiatives and collaborating with regional nonprofits, surf communities, and environmental groups — their commitment to healthy waterways and coastal preservation runs deep.

By blending laid-back coastal style with a serious commitment to sustainability, One Love Beach reflects the authentic spirit of Long Island’s East End — where outdoor adventure, community connection, and protecting our natural places go hand in hand.
