Travel gives us the chance to relax, reconnect, and discover the beauty of new places—but it also offers a unique opportunity to care for the environment. At San Clemente Cove, we believe your beachside vacation can also be a step toward more sustainable travel. With ocean views, walkable access to downtown, and eco-conscious hospitality, we’re here to help you enjoy the California coast while leaving a lighter footprint.
Whether you’re planning a weekend retreat or a longer coastal stay, here are simple, meaningful ways to make your visit more sustainable—while enjoying the very best of the San Clemente area.
Be Energy Smart in Your Units
Each of our well-appointed suites includes the comforts of home—and that includes the ability to conserve energy. As you head out to explore the beach or downtown San Clemente, take a moment to:
- Turn off lights, fans, and electronics
- Adjust or switch off heating and cooling
These small actions add up to big energy savings, helping us preserve this beautiful coastal environment for future visits.
Reuse Towels and Linens
Our housekeeping team is committed to green practices, and you can help too by reusing towels and requesting fresh linens only when needed. This reduces water and energy use while ensuring your unit remains clean and comfortable throughout your stay.
Bring a Reusable Water Bottle
With so many outdoor adventures nearby—from beach walks to hiking trails—you’ll want to stay hydrated. Skip the plastic bottles and bring your own reusable one. You’ll stay refreshed while helping cut down on single-use plastic waste.
Explore San Clemente by Foot or Bike
One of the best features of San Clemente Cove is its unbeatable location. You’re steps from the beach, the pier, and Avenida Del Mar’s boutiques, cafes, and galleries. Skip the car and enjoy a scenic walk or rent a bike for a zero-emission way to take in the sights. The nearby San Clemente Beach Trail is a favorite for visitors and locals alike.
Support Local Businesses
Spring is the perfect time to enjoy San Clemente’s small-town charm. Visit the Sunday Farmers Market for fresh produce, artisan goods, and tasty treats. Stop by family-run restaurants, surf shops, and art studios throughout the neighborhood. Shopping and dining locally helps sustain the vibrant community that makes San Clemente so special.
