Poche Beach is a kitesurfing spot located in south Orange County, between Dana Point and San Clemente, California. This small sandy beach offers moderate wave conditions and west to northwest afternoon thermal winds. The spot is quieter than beaches further north and benefits from Southern California's mild climate. It is a good intermediate spot in the San Clemente area.
Open all year round
