Travel is about more than just getting away—it’s a chance to reconnect, recharge, and make choices that reflect the world we want to protect. At Capistrano SurfSide Inn, we’re proud to support sustainable travel, blending coastal comfort with eco-conscious practices. With small steps and mindful habits, together we can help preserve the natural beauty of Dana Point for generations to come.
Whether you’re planning a sunny weekend retreat or a longer beachfront stay, here are some easy and meaningful ways to travel more sustainably—while making the most of your time by the sea.
Use Less, Enjoy More: Conserve Energy in Your Unit
Being energy-conscious is one of the simplest ways to reduce your environmental impact. While you’re out exploring Dana Point:
- Switch off lights and ceiling fans
- Power down electronics
- Adjust or turn off the A/C or heat
These small choices help conserve resources without affecting your comfort—and your cozy unit will welcome you back when you return.
Reuse Towels and Linens
You don’t need a fresh towel every day to feel refreshed. Reusing towels and requesting linen changes only when necessary helps save water and energy. At Capistrano SurfSide Inn, we encourage green housekeeping habits that keep your stay clean, comfortable, and kind to the planet.
Ditch the Plastic—Bring a Reusable Water Bottle
Skip the single-use plastics and pack a reusable water bottle for your trip. It’s a simple way to stay hydrated while helping reduce waste. You can refill easily at local cafés—or use our refill station in the Owners Lounge, designed to make sustainable choices even easier for our guests before a hike, ride, or beach day.
Explore Dana Point by Bike
Looking for a fun and eco-friendly way to explore? Rent a bike and cruise the Pacific Coast Highway or nearby coastal trails. Skip the car, breathe in the sea air, and discover Dana Point’s scenic spots at your own pace. It’s good for the environment—and great for your mood.
Shop and Dine Local
Support Dana Point’s vibrant community by choosing local restaurants, farmers markets, and small shops. Sourcing goods and meals locally not only reduces your carbon footprint, but also supports the people who make this town so special.
