South Orange County’s first certified ‘Ocean Friendly Restaurant’

Waterman’s Harbor in Dana Point was just honored and recognized by the Surfrider Foundation as South Orange County first certified “Ocean Friendly Restaurant.” With incredible  views of the Dana Point Harbor, Waterman’s meets all mandatory standards for qualifying as a Surfrider Foundation Ocean Friendly Restaurant, as well as uses Rainforest Alliance Certified paper products and eco cardboard containers. 

Surfrider Foundation’s campaign works with and recognizes restaurants who institute self-regulated ocean friendly practices that reduce disposable plastic waste that end up on our beaches and oceans.  Restaurants cannot use polystyrene (eg. Styrofoam), and they must have proper recycling practices, reusable tableware, no plastic bags on take out, no beverages in plastic bottles, water conservation efforts, sustainable “best choice” seafood and vegan menu options, and straws on request.

Recently named The Best Seafood Restaurant in Orange County, Waterman’s Harbor offers locally-sourced meats, produce and fish prepared “ocean-to-plate” within hours of being caught.   Waterman’s Harbor maintains a commitment to sustainability of the ocean and earth for preservation of the environment for future generations.

Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
