Billabong Sol Searcher Tie Side Tanga Bikini Bottom
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Sun Hunt
The Billabong Sol Searcher Tie Side Tanga Bikini Bottom is exactly what a serious sun-worshipper needs. Crafted from a soft, stretchy partially recycled nylon peach blend, it moves with you through every beach session while delivering the minimal coverage a tanga is known for. Tie sides put the fit entirely in your hands, and logo embroidery at the hip adds a clean finish without adding bulk.
Tanga Fit and Coverage
The Sol Searcher runs a true tanga silhouette: super skimpy bum coverage that maximizes your tan lines and a waist that sits high or low on the hips depending on how you tie it. This is not a full coverage or cheeky cut. It is a minimal-coverage piece designed for long beach days and confident wear. The solid construction reads clean from every angle, making it a natural match for a wide range of tops.
Partially Recycled Construction
Billabong built the Sol Searcher from a partially recycled nylon peach stretch blend. The peach finish gives the fabric a smooth, skin-soft hand feel that holds its shape in and out of the water. The stretch blended into the nylon means the bottom conforms to your body without pulling or gaping at the ties.
Billabong and Surf Culture
Billabong launched in 1973 out of a love for surfing and has spent over four decades shaping what beach culture looks like. The Sol Searcher collection sits within that lineage, taking a timeless solid silhouette and building it from materials that reflect a more sustainable direction. If you are looking for a Billabong bikini bottom that pairs with almost anything in your rotation, the Sol Searcher tanga is the right starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a tanga bikini bottom?
- A tanga is a bikini bottom cut with super skimpy rear coverage, minimal fabric across the back, and typically a lower or adjustable rise. It sits between a cheeky cut and a thong, and is popular with surfers and sun worshippers who want to maximize tan coverage.
- How does the Billabong Sol Searcher Tanga fit compared to a standard bikini bottom?
- The Sol Searcher Tanga runs a minimal-coverage silhouette with tie sides that let you adjust the fit at the hips. It is cut skimpier than a standard bikini or cheeky bottom and is designed to sit high or low depending on how you tie it.
- What is the Sol Searcher made from?
- The Sol Searcher Tanga is constructed from a partially recycled nylon peach stretch blend. The fabric is soft, skin-smooth, and stretchy enough to hold its shape through a full day at the beach.
- Does the Billabong Sol Searcher Tanga stay in place in the water?
- The tie side closure lets you dial in a secure fit before you get in the water, and the stretch nylon blend holds its shape when wet. Tie the bows firmly for the most secure hold in surf or wake.
- What is the difference between a tanga and a hiphugger bikini bottom?
- A tanga offers super skimpy rear coverage with minimal fabric and typically a lower rise, while a hiphugger sits higher on the hip with fuller rear coverage. The Sol Searcher Tanga is the minimal-coverage option; choose a hiphugger if you want more coverage across the seat.
- Can I buy the Billabong Sol Searcher Tanga at Island Water Sports?
- Yes. The Sol Searcher Tanga Bikini Bottom is available in store and online at Island Water Sports. For questions, call 954-427-4929.
- What tops pair well with the Sol Searcher Tanga Bikini Bottom?
- Because the Sol Searcher Tanga is a solid-color, clean-lined piece, it pairs with virtually any Billabong bikini top or mix-and-match separates. Triangle tops, halter tops, and bandeau styles all work well with this silhouette.
